Best Toys 2013: Blue Orange Games Shows Off Construction Toys

Blue Orange Games’ new construction line should make many best toys 2013 wish lists. Blue Orange Games, creator of innovative family games, has decided to go in an innovative new direction. The company, based in San Francisco, is ready to unleash a new wooden construction toy line called Engenius. It’s sure to be one of the best toys of the year. Blue Orange came up with the name of the toy by combining the words engineer and genius. The name actually reflects the idea behind the line.

Blue Orange Games is saying we will be able to witness our first glimpse of the new toy line at this year’s Toy Fair in New York. The company has long held a tradition of creating interesting toys for the whole family. They are hoping that this new line with continue their long standing tradition.

The Engenius Collection is designed for children 4 and up. Children who love things that fly will feel right at home with this new line that lets children build wooden aviation models. Designed to get children using their creativity, children can use the interchangeable wooden parts to create whatever they imagine. There will be 3 different sets. Children can build a 40 piece airplane, a 28 piece helicopter, or 29 piece Spaceship.

Builders are not just limited to those particular models. Each set allows little engineers to build a variety of different models. Unlike other building sets, there are no step by step directions. Instead builders are encouraged to use their creativity to build the models. Blue Orange wanted to ensure that the sets offered hours of playability and didn’t want to limit the child’s imagination. Children will be free to use their creativity in any way that they want. Even better, it is as easy to build as it is easy to take the pieces apart.

What sets the Engenius Collection apart is the quality of the pieces and the way everything looks. There is definitely something that sets this collection of wooden blocks from every other set on the market. The geometric pieces are brightly and vibrantly colored, giving them a very distinct look.  Everything is high quality.  Builders can screw, push, and stick the pieces together in endless ways.

Best of all is that all the sets can be combined to create an even bigger set that will open the realm of creativity. In fact, kids can a large robot using all the sets. Blue Orange is planning to expand the line later this year.

Blue Orange has ensured that the wood is sourced from sustainable sources. In fact, for every tree used, two trees will be planted.

In addition to their new Construction line, Blue Orange is going to be also delivering the games we love know and love. One game that we expect to be one of the top toys of the year is Ooga Booga. Ooga Booga takes the classic game of memory and adds a comical twist to it. The idea is simple. Using visual cues, players have to memorize a set of words and actions. Flash is a lightning fast dice game that is easy to pick up and play. Nada is a matching dice game that has players yelling out Nada when they see a matching pair. Children can test their sense of balance with Keekee the Rocking Monkey. 20 Express has players building a stream of ascending numbers. With over 12 years in the industry, Blue Orange Games is still creating games that the entire family will love. So what are you waiting for, go get the best toys 2013 from Blue Orange games!
