Building toy for K-2 grader that is not lego

[Anonymous]

Any ideas?

trying to get my kids (5 year old boy and 7 year old girl) something interesting and unique for their ramadan gifts.
I know they would love another lego set, but i'm just wondering what more is out there,

Snap Circuits Jr? I don't know if that counts as building.

Magnatiles/magformers, zoobs, snap circuits, marble run sets

Magnatiles or magformers.

Go to fatbraintoys.com -- you can search by age and category (such as construction toys or building stuff).

We like Magnatiles, Squigz, and Lego Technic (remote control legos).

We have a GoldieBlox set that has been getting a lot of use.

Magnatiles get a ton of use at our house. Goldieblox were not as popular.

Tegu, Squigz, Pinblocks

There are some interesting architectural block sets out there that my two sons enjoyed at that age.

DC has something like this and totally loves them.

Planks. Very simple but surprisingly fun.

If you are near Child's Play (Chevy Chase DC and Rockville and somewhere in VA) stop by and they will have tons of unique options.

+1 Child's play, e.g. Straws and Connectors, Magformers,

Staff is VERY helpful.

Not sure if Childs Play has these but probably does - Zoob bot. My obsessive builder LOVES them after years of Magnatiles, Lego, Straws, etc.

Snap Circuits are great at that age.

Tinker Toys

Jaw Bonz (don't know if I got the spelling right)
