I’ve been waiting for TOMY Constructables to arrive at GIFT HERO.  It had been on backorder for months.  It was one of my “must carry” toys, for boys ages 3 and up, when Lisa and I were selecting inventory.  Benjamin received it as a gift at that age and both he and I thought it was so much fun.

Constructables is a motorized building playset.  Kids can build a race car, a train, a helicopter, a plane or any other vehicle they dream up.  The core component of any vehicle is the motorized powerpack (that takes just one AA battery – which is a common size most of us usually have around the house) and all the child needs to do it turn it on and watch it go!  The propellers will twirl, the wheels will turn and the smokestack will spin.  There are 18 pieces to work with so children can really make some complicated contraptions.

I gave this to several of Benjamin’s buddies when they turned 3.  I recently ran into one of the Moms…and unsolicited, she mentioned that her son still enjoys this toy and now her younger one (who I cannot believe is 3 1/2 already) loves it too.  She said the quality is great and it still works perfectly.  I told her it was coming very soon to GIFT HERO and I’m sure it will be on her giving list for her little guy’s buddies this birthday season!
