10 Great Construction Sets for Gifted Children

Many gifted children love to build various kinds of structures. They may start out building towers out of simple wooden blocks and progress to building complex structures from houses, boats and cars to structures that exist only in their imaginations.

Kids with any interest will find one or more of these sets fun and challenging. Whether your child is interested in architecture, sculpture or mechanics, there is a set available to feed that interest. Seeing which kind of set your child likes most also gives you an idea of what your child is most interested in.
Give your gifted child a chance to stretch his or her imagination with a variety of construction sets. Here are ten of the best!
