+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.

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.

Planks. Very simple but surprisingly fun.

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

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

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).

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,
