I received a set of Nano Blocks while I was at Toy Fair. Ohio Art is the U.S. distributor for them. These things are very, very tiny but fit together pretty well. You can make a bunch of different models with them. While they are cute and interesting I’m not a big fan of their price. The little tree frog that I got goes for $10.99. It may be complex to make these pieces but not worth that much in the least. You can spend that same amount on Mega Bloks or LEGO and get a toy that you can actually play with.
I toured the Playmobil booth while at Toy Fair and on the way out I received a small package with two figures a Fairy and a Unicorn. This year there are many fairy and unicorn themed toys from Playmobil. There are sets with fairies and larger unicorns but then there are some baby unicorns and a fairy castle and more. Each year that I have gone to Toy Fair the Playmobil booth is always impressive. The toys are all completely new and there are a ton of sets. This year is no exception. There were so many different sets and each one was made with the Playmobil quality that I’ve come to expect. Eva loved this Unicorn and Fairy set and added it to the promotional figure that she received last year. I hope to review some more of these Playmobil products in 2014. I think that they would be perfect for Eva to use to explore that ever expanding imagination of hers.
