The Foldaway Stuntscape is a really unique toy. When folded up it is a firetruck look and design with rolling wheels. It unfolds to reveal a miniature town with a parking garage, convenience store or gas station, and several roads as well as a loop. It comes with 5 miniature cars that can drive around the town. The city includes a burning building, a buckled portion of pavement and more. I have a nephew who loves emergency vehicles (some of which are included in this set) so I know he will enjoy using them in this play set.

LUX Blox are a unique building toy with a design that reminds me a little bit of a pound sign or hashtag. Some of the edges of each block have edges that allow the pieces to snap together and hold in place while also still moving. For example, snap two pieces together and the hinge will stay together while the edges move, similar to a door or cupboard. Due to their unique shape these blocks can make creations unlike that of traditional building blocks that can only stick together on one edge. For creative kids who like to create, Lux Blox is a fun way to switch things up.
