Think of this like an entry level erector set. This building set from Melissa and Doug will teach them about screws and bolts, in a large child friendly size.
Instead of a plastic marble racing track that will crack, break and eventually end up in a landfill, try this sturdy Amaze N Marbles set made out of wood.
Do you have a budding doctor in your family? Instead of buying a cheap doctor kit with plastic doo-dads that don't do anything, assemble your own doctor set with real items! This post includes links to great deals on kid friendly doctor kit supplies.
This tool box comes with a wrench, screwdriver and hammer. It also comes with a handy tool box and a starter set of construction set pieces. Pair it with the Melissa and Doug Construction Set for a great gift to encourage their love of building.
My son first got this board game when he was three and he has loved it since then. It's a fun and easy game you can play as a family that encourages counting.
Is your kids obsessed with pandas? Make them their own DIY panda towel.
Not very crafty? That's ok! Order a baby panda towel or a large panda towel on Amazon.
Candy Land has kids move around the board by moving to different colored squares. This makes the game much easier to play than one involving numbers or letters.
(I almost never recommend plastic toys but I feel the durability and educational aspect of this one makes this a worthwhile plastic purchase)
Kids will learn about the basic science of gears through hands-on play. Plus it's super satisfying to turn a gear on one side of your contraption and all the gears turn!

From shapes to buildings and beyond, magnet building block tiles will be a hit. This is a classic toy that kids will continue to enjoy playing with for years. Even my 8 year old can't resist a box of these in a kids play area and jumps right into building things alongside his brother.

When my oldest son was three, he wanted this work bench desperately. Once he got it, he spent hours and hours building and tinkering at this bench - all the way until he was about 7 years old.
Young kids who aren't quite ready to learn how to pedal a bike start out by learning how to balance with this strider bike. A hybrid between a bike and a scooter, kids practice gliding and balancing so when they are ready for a two wheeler, they can just skip training wheels.
This sturdy train set takes train sets up a notch! Including cool features like ramps, tunnels, bridges and more, your kids will spend hours playing with these trains! This is a must for any train or transportation lover.
