Gadget and Building Toys

Gadget and building toys range from the more traditional building and construction sets - including Meccano, Lego, and train sets - to radio-controlled toys and robots.

As well as being fun, they can help develop problem-solving skills and fine motor skills, which involve hand-eye co-ordination and the strengthening of the hand muscles. They can also help develop an interest in the sciences and how things work.
