Once again I am raving about the Active People's Toys. I think what they say on their website describes the why they are great. "
Active People Toys for Preschoolers include the Babal and Bilibo that I blogged about seperately. Here are there other preschool toys. If the toys are not available at letkidsplay, I have listed other toy stores where you can find them. I have not personally used these websites, so you will want to check them out.
Bilibo Pixel is a set of 36 chips in six colors and an elastic cube where they can be inserted to create a custom color dice.Influence the odds by including as many chips of your color as possible or hide small treasures or messages in the cavities behind the chips. Make the chips jump like tiddlywinks or flick them with your finger and aim for a Bilibo Mini as target. Use them as game pieces, play currency or even add different faces with a marker. Bilibo Pixel encourages the discovery and invention of new games. Combined with Bilibo Mini it will inspire countless ideas and creative fun for the whole family. Some play ideas are included. This is available at
letkidsplay website for less than $10.
SAKOL – Discover the expressive power of 5 wooden Velcro blocks!Sakol’s potential is far greater than that of just a building toy or construction set, especially if children have the stimulating guidance of adults when they first begin to play. Simple and surprising tasks get the creative process rolling. Velcro offers new, organic ways of constructing, and nuanced possibilities for expression. Touch the models: with your eyes open, with your eyes closed; with the left hand, with the right hand, with both hands. Sakol stimulates the senses, engages the imagination. You can find these at

In addition to Bilibo we discussed there is also
Mini Bilibo. A racing beetle, a spinning top, a boat in the floods of the bath tub, a treasure trove, a game piece, an exotic shell, a designer's seat for Barbie, a cup for snow balls... The junior version of the award-winning Bilibo easily matches its big sibling's versatility. In the hands of children the colorful shells turn into anything and everything. The open-ended toy stimulates the imagination and becomes an indispensable accessory for countless new games. Available at
