A Little Help....

William's birthday is in a month and I need a little help deciding which toy to buy him. Here's the choices:

Wedgits 3-D Builders

Expand the building skills and creative development of children as young as 2 years with this 15-pc. preschool set. Its over-sized, geometrically symmetrical blocks stack, nest and/or interlock for free-form, 3-dimentional designs. Includes 46 design cards to get kids started. All in quality plastic. Largest block is 5¾" Sq. Ages 2 yrs. +.


2 'N 1 Wooden Workshop

It's a workbench---it's a tool box! Actually , this all wood set is both! Comes with pounding pegs, bolts, differently shaped screws, building slats along with a hammer, screwdriver and wrench to put it all together. The 13"L x 6"W x 6"H Workbench has pre-drilled holes for creative building. Ages 2 yrs. +.

I think the Wedgits are a little advanced for him right now, but he would still enjoy stacking them. The tools, I know would be a hit. The one draw back is the amount of pieces to keep up with. So, what would you get a two-year old boy?

Our 2 year old LOVES tools. The block things though are really very cool but we'd probably go with the tools. the 3-D builders probably build more cognitive skills but the tool set will keep his attention. And it turns into a table! He can 'work' with daddy and improve motor skills and bang on stuff. And he gets to learn a new set of vocabulary.
