Weird & Wacky Contraption Lab
This is a nice piece: It's solid, it's portable, and the pieces work just like they're supposed to. The whole process -planning the route, picking the pieces, assembling, seeing how it works, tweaking to get it just right -is very satisfying. It would be nice if it were bigger, but it would be much less manageable, so I think Smart Lab found the right compromise there. It does seem like there are pieces that will disappear and break in the future, too, so I'm not sure this is a hand-me-down toy. But it's hard to argue with a toy that rewards your child's ingenuity by shooting a spring-loaded plastic pig across the room! A winner.
