My kid's favourite toys were wooden blocks their grandpa made.
Just 2x2" wood stock, cut into 2x2x2 and 2x2x4 cubes and sanded down.
They became houses, roads, furniture and whatever. Some got painted.
Parents _think_ kids need a bunch of fancy toys, but they really don't. They just need (literally) the building blocks of toys. Wood blocks, Lego (the old kind with square bricks, not the new ones where every piece is different).

- WillAdams 1y agoSeems to be the case. Poster child for this would be the Space Shuttle/747 kit (which I kind of wish had gone back to the drawing board for a few more revisions.... but I'll probably get it anyway).
