For generating excitement about early literacy: Alpha-Bots.

For imaginative play that helps develops social-emotional skills: The Royal Kingdom Adventure Castle
This is one mighty fortress built for endless entertainment for girls and boys. Castle walls open to reveal exciting play spaces like chambers, towers and stairwells, and there's even a working drawbridge and dungeon door. Let the wizard counsel the king and queen, use knights and guards defend the castle --- or maybe the queen and the dragon fly off together to explore distant lands. it's totally up to your kids. (Ages 3-6)
For development of STEM building and engineering skills: The Ultimate Fort Builder.
These strong, snap-together builders let kids construct the fort of their dreams. Just add a sheet or blanket and now it's a hidden cabin, a super spaceship, a science lab, a mysterious haunted house, or a cool igloo. 45 poles and 25 connectors plus a building guide make it perfect for creating any fort they can conceive, and even older tweens can get in on the action. (Ages 4-11)
For imaginative play that helps develops social-emotional skills: The Fairy Land Playset
We all know the importance of imaginative play and this 9-inch tall, durable fairy house brings to life the magical fairy land of kids' dreams for solo playtime, or kids learning to play collaboratively with friends. Four poseable fairies can explore their enchanted home through a swing-open door, hang with fairy friends on the mushroom stools, gather by the magical wishing well, or nap on the leaf lounger. Because being a fairy is hard work! (Ages 3-7)
For building and construction that inspires problem-solving: Snap & Design Monster Trucks
Kids will love designing and building impressive monster trucks as they mix and match 15 pieces including oversized truck bodies, chassis with massive wheels and cool accessories. Then, kids can just pull back each finished truck, let it go, and watch it zoom to race against other trucks, or compete against themselves to beat their own distance records. (Ages 3-8)
