Did I mention that being in the toy business is FUN? Playing with building sets is maybe the most fun of all! These toys are timeless - I think Tinker Toys are almost 100 years old. And still selling like hotcakes.
Although companies like lego have come along with some VERY cool new building sets, the old standbys are always going to be there - Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. Of course, K'Nex and PopOnz are more recent newcomers and also have some nice quality building sets.
Building sets are a huge seller all year round, especially around Christmas. It is often a favorit gift for kids. A running joke here at theKIDshoppe.com is that often times "the box is more fun than the gift inside." Ever seen a toddler have a total BLAST with a Box? The phenomenon is important - simple toys are sometimes the most favorite. That's how come a toy like Tinker Toys has been around for the better part of nine decades.
And...don't even get Jingles the Elf (our research assistant) started...
Playing with Tinker Toys makes you smart as a fox - So much better than to play with a box!
As a young Elf, my favorite gifts were: Lincoln Logs, my bright yellow Schwinn Pixie with a banana seat, and my super-launch pogo stick. Okay - so the bike and the pogo stick don't fit in here, but my point is that Licoln Logs are in my list of favorites!
