As much as we're drawn to gadgets, gizmos and other blinking gobbledygook, when the subject turns to longevity, few toys can top a simple set of building blocks. Which is why we're loving Twig, the newly debuted company (and former Etsy seller) whose building toys are as inspiring to look at as they are to play with.
Beyond merely stacking, Twig's brightly colored pieces slide into, between and next to one another, offering an experience that's equal parts problem-solving, spatial arrangement and basic engineering. And if green-conscious toys are your thing, Twig's renewable materials and simple, eco-smart packaging offer added bonuses.
