Displaying the Multiplication Tables

"Mom, you know the periodic table poster I have on my bedroom wall?
 I wish I had a poster like that for times tables."

Is there a parent on the planet who wouldn't jump straight onto the Internet and try to fulfill that dream? It's not a toy or a video game!  In case I'm not the only parent with a child interested in math, I thought I'd share some of the option I found online this afternoon...

Zoob! Toy Building Sets

This original post was written with no sponsorship.
Post has been updated & affiliate links have been added.

Shortly before Christmas a few years ago I won a Zoob Building Set in a giveaway.  My boys were already getting Fisher Price Trio blocks from Santa Claus, so I put the set in the closet to bring out on a rainy day.

Well, it's not raining here, but it is FREEZING COLD!  We haven't been above 20 degrees in nearly two weeks.  Translate that into my kids have been stuck inside driving me crazy for more than two weeks.  Last week the choice was sell them to the gypsies (which they know is ALWAYS an option) or give them something new to do.  The Zoob building set has saved my sanity!

The set I received contained 35 building pieces and 5 instruction guides that build in difficulty. In less than a week B built every single one and moved on to making his own creations. P loves them too, but pretty much only makes perfectly straight swords or triangle "tents". The best thing about Zoobs is that they the join together as a joint, so the final product can be movable.

This is the "Circle Skier" Beck was most proud of at the end of his day of playing.  Since then we have added more sets and he has made a motorcycle larger than his brother, lots of robots & bugs, and a playhouse he could fit inside.

Building Toys

I love toys that encourage imagination and creativity.  I love toys that keep my boys entertained for long periods of time even more.  I highly recommend adding them to your "the kids are driving me crazy" rainy day arsenal!

Have a question about the Zoob Building Sets?
Let me know, I promise to answer honestly.
