changing gears
If your little one is bored with plain-'ol-blocks, check out Oligear, a beautiful set of interlocking magnetic gears created by architect and toy-designer Daniel Oakley. The brightly-colored plastic forms can be linked together or be stacked magnet-to-magnet to create vibrant spinning tops. Better yet they can stick securely to your fridge, keeping the kids occupied twisting and turning while you cook. But, perhaps best of all, Oakley's organic design sensibilities will greatly please your grown-up aesthetic.
