Recently funded through Kickstarter, a new toy company, Goldie Blox, is receiving lots of attention and will deliver its first product in February, 2013.  It’s a construction toy and book series starring Goldie, a kid inventor who loves to build.  The kit combines spatial and verbal skills and is aimed for girls 5 to 9 years old.  The second and third sets of the series, to be released in the spring, will introduce more engineering principles, new characters, and more construction pieces.  You can pre-order sets, track the company’s production progress, and see what’s new at www.GoldieBlox.com.  See videos on Goldie Blox’ Youtube channel.
