The Roller Coaster Challenge. Players get to build their very own roller coasters. The game uses the logic of a puzzle, while also allowing for the creativity that stems from free-form building. Winner of the American Specialty Toy Retailer Association’s (ASTRA) Best Toys for Kids Award and National Parenting Products Award (Ages 6+, MSRP $29.99)
Cube-tastic. With the help of the Cube-tastic app and a mobile phone or tablet, anyone can learn to conquer the cube. An identical virtual copy is created in the app, so users learn to solve this puzzle with a customized, step-by-step tutorial. An engaging learning experience to try over and over again and best of all, it’s small enough to fit in a stocking! Winner of Creative Child Awards, 2017 Toy of the Year. (Ages 5+, MSRP $19.99)
Rover Control. In this 40-challenge, screen-free game, you’ll need to call on your critical thinking skills to correctly color the pathways so the Rovers stay on course. Challenges introduce “decision points,” “loops,” and “increment instructions” as you progress — all advanced computational skills that are delicately embedded into a fun play experience and will have you thinking like a true programmer. (Ages 8+, MSRP $14.99)
