Woodcraft meets architecture

Houses for young builders

When it comes to kids architecture toys, playing with dollhouses might be primarily enjoyed by girls, but building dollhouses is equally enjoyed by boys and girls … and is a great family activity, too. From simple to complicated, and at price points in between, natural wood dollhouse sets from Cherry Tree Toys will keep them captivated until the dinner bell rings or the lights go off, whichever comes first.

And since Cherry Tree dollhouse kits are made out of real wood and not cardboard, they can last to become a family heirloom. Choose precut kits or plans, then add your own touches from their huge selection of accessories, details, finishes and of course, furnishing. Oh and one more thing…the “kids” who will love these kits stretch from about 10 to 110!


Go kinetic

For young builders who love movement

chaos-tower

Architecture doesn’t have to be about building things that just stand still and look pretty. Sometimes, architecture is about creating the framework for action and movement.

That’s the idea behind the Chaos Tower kit. Kids get to arrange, rearrange and build with over 600 pieces to create a tower. But that’s only the start of the fun. Once it’s built, your kids get to drop the silver ball into their creation and see where it goes. This award-winning toy not only teaches basic structural technique, it also provides a great lesson in physics too! Not bad for one really great toy. Find more science toys like this.

Not ready for the full free-standing construction of the Chaos Maze? No worries.

Variations of this theme have been around for years, and they’re always a favorite. In addition to using the 100 pieces to build innumerable structures, the maze and marble set from Young Explorers also includes marbles. Watching the marble, beginning at the very top, work its way down the various chutes is mesmerizing. That look on your child’s face doesn’t mean she’s contemplating joining the Moonies. No, she’s lost in the maze and the marbles; just as a good architect should be.


Architecture blocks

Real buildings

Each of the blocks is laminated with hand painted motifs from the world’s greatest architectural wonders. And your budding builder isn’t limited to all things Egypt. She can easily adapt these for cathedral construction, temples; you name it.
