Other creative toys/products that come to mind would be, say, Play-Doh as a sort of children’s intro to…Clay, I suppose? But in this vein without being exclusively directed towards children (albeit I imagine many may be).
Always enjoyed a creative kind of toy to mess around with.
I’m kind of addicted to building computers. I have two desktops, a mini ITX PC, and I built my wife a PC. It’s a giant waste of money, but it’s so god damn fun.
