Quality toys for the older child is often a challenge

Toys with either a practical outcome or those that require care and attention to detail will often grab the interest of the older child.  

Digging or Construction is always fun
Finding out about Dinosaurs is fascinating and the Dino dig kits give a great insight to these prehistoric animals.	The many possibilities of a Meccano set have been enjoyed by generations.  The modern kits with their  bending properties and new motors have added a new dimension to this toy.
From Bug watching and making your own Gems to looking through a telescope these kits can captivate a child.	Many of our practical  kits make things that have a use after construction.  This gives an added incentive to complete the project!
