We contacted engineers, hobbyists, toy designers, teachers, and education researchers to get their opinion on the best toys for your little boy. Professionals who work with children use measuring devices and surveys to explore new toy applications and map their impact. Children were encouraged to discuss their first-hand experiences and ideas about toys in general. The result is an engaging, entertaining, and insightful collection of toys represented on this web site for a broad 7 to 8 year old little boy audience.
