Other creative toys/products that come to mind would be, say, Play-Doh as a sort of children’s intro to…Clay, I suppose? But in this vein without being exclusively directed towards children (albeit I imagine many may be).
Always enjoyed a creative kind of toy to mess around with.
I’m working on a wooden puzzle right now that’s a locked safe. The company has a bunch of neat products wood trick
Ah, that reminds me of some similar puzzle/kits made of metal! I’m forgetting the name for the specific one right now, but there appear to be a few different companies behind them from trying to search & find the one I was thinking of.
You mean Metal Earth? Though they are not the only ones who make those kinds of models but they are the ones that got me into it (for a few months)
That was the one showing at the top of my searches, but there was another company I was thinking of that I can’t recall nor find now.
Is it still like a regular puzzle? Like the same skill set?
It’s comparable to building legos.
ROKR also makes a lot of cool ones.
Edit: OMG THEY HAVE PINBALL!!!
