A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Laser Pegs, the Original Lighted Construction Set®, is gearing up for the holiday season with five all new sets. Each set was developed so the user can build multiple creations; these five new mode ls alone can make up to 60 different sound activated colorful models.

With a kit for everyone on your holiday list from ages 5-99, the variety of these new models will keep children and adults alike entertained for hours while utilizing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills and educational fun.

New features in the holiday introductions include the following advancements to engage the senses. These features were added to some existing sets as well.

• Tinted Brick Colors: New kits containing the new “Tinted Brick Colors” will enjoy a variety of shades to build and play with. The new tinted brick colors are shaded to reflect the same colors that Laser Pegs already creates with LED lights, but now colors are even brighter, with or without the LED lights activated, giving builders even more options to tap the imagination.
• Sound Activated Illumination: Kits with Sound Activated Illumination use LEDs that strobe to the beat of music, voices, clapping, etc. Imagine the light show you’ll get while singing carols around the tree.

Among the new models for the holidays are:

We received the 24 in 1 National Geographic Dinosaurs and my son IS LOVING IT!!! He plays with this kit whenever he can and he loves watching his creations light up and shine in the dark! He now is hooked on building and creating and I love watching him!

Best of all, all Laser Pegs sets are compatible other 32mm grid pattern construction kits (like Legos) so my son can combine them all to make epic creations!

Spark Imaginative Play with Your Girls with Build & Imagine Playsets!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My husband is an engineer and definitely thinks like an engineer in all facets of life...and therefore, he thinks our children will naturally be engineers too! :) So far, my oldest really shows signs of loving to "engineer" things, as he likes to say!

And my daughter got a chance to show off her budding engineering skills with the awesome Build & Imagine play-sets that are designed for girls and adds an important “A” for art to the vital fields of a STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math).

That’s the mission behind Build & Imagine, an empowering toy line for youngsters ages 4 and up that starts them on a road to innovation. Three magnetic construction sets are packed with foundational STEAM learning yet are enchanting for endless hours of imaginative play.

Each Build & Imagine StoryWalls play-set is made of colorfully illustrated magnetic panels that a child joins together any way she likes. The result is a scene that she brings to life with the enclosed dress-up dolls and more than 40 magnetic costumes and props. The illustrated details act as story starters, sparking imaginative play. Toy industry experts have taken notice including Dr. Toy, Parents’ Choice, The National Parenting Center, Mr. Dad and many others.

My favorite part about these play-sets is that they defy the "norm" for girls' toys. In other words, no princesses, ballerinas or fashionistas, whatever career that is. With these sets, my daughter gets to "build" and "engineer" just like Daddy and her brother! They get to play right along with her and she gets to be in charge! :)

Perhaps for the first time, young girls get to brace walls at angles, test the front door and work together with siblings to secure the roof. Since all sets are interchangeable, children collect additional sets to build bigger towers or design a town. With each new set come endless storytelling possibilities.

My daughter received the Day At The Beach set and it was instantly a hit! With this set, my children can build a scene and imagine countless stories...over and over again!

Emily and Lucas can’t wait for their day at the beach working at the surfside café & shop. Between running the café window, the surf shop register, and the lifeguard stand, there is always action to keep them busy. After the lunch rush, they catch a few waves to try out Emily's latest surfboard designs.

This set includes Emily and Lucas dolls, 10 illustrated building panels, and more than 40 action packed magnetic accessories.

Features a walk-up cafe window, surf shop double doors, lifeguard stand, surfboard workshop, food prep kitchen, cafe seating, surf scene, beach gear, rescue gear, outfits, tools, and yummy food!

My children had a blast building together and it makes for a great activity for a rainy day or a perfect activity for the upcoming winter months! Children can work together, imagine together, and build together - girl included! :)

Buy It:

You can purchase the Day At The Beach set for $39.99 from the Build & Imagine website.

Also, look for Build & Imagine StoryWalls play sets online and in stores. Find Build & Imagine at e-tailers such as amazon, The Grommet (watch its awesome 2-minute video), Kohl’s, Fat Brain Toys and Zulily.

Build & Imagine will be featured in upcoming catalogs such as Hammacher Schlemmer, Mindware and Museum Tour Toys. You might even tune in to QVC and catch their products in play. Browse inside Pottery Barn Kids or over 150 neighborhood toy shops.
