Creating new toys over and over again

Kids who love to work with their hands will enjoy making real toys with Colorforms Toy Creator Real Toy Maker ($12.98). In minutes, children can fashion small toys such as trucks, tops, balls, and boats that really work.

Toy Creator is a modeling activity that can be used over and over. Simply activate the plastic material in warm water, watch it change color, shape a toy, and then plunge it into cold water.

The set includes molding material in three vibrant colors, five ColorTwist strips and connectors, molds to create spinning tops and rolling wheels, a set of wooden rods, and felt-tip markers. These toys can be run under warm water to soften and are ready to be remolded.
