Building Structures & Contraptions - 8-Year Olds

Eight-year-olds love building structures and contraptions!

Stock up on building toys for eight-year-olds at MindWare. From our patented Q-Ba-Maze marble run to our KEVA Contraptions precision maple building sets your kids will be able to let their imaginations run wild. But our house specialty kids building sets are just the beginning. K'Nex Mighty Makers building sets inspire creativity and build a story along with the structures. LEGO Chain Reactions is a book and LEGO kit that will teach kids bricks new tricks!

Inspire creativity in kids of all age and skill levels with KEVA Contraptions building sets. KEVA planks and blocks capture the imagination ... lengthening attention spans, deepening concentration and building excitement. It's no wonder that KEVA Building Sets have caught the attention of Mensa, DreamWorks and Destination Imagination. KEVA is a kids building set that will have them building for hours.

Q-Ba-Maze 2.0 is a unique system of colorful cubes that interlock to form an amazing marble maze with a huge difference! Q-Ba-Maze 2.0 by MindWare lets kids create marble maze sculptures in almost any design and best of all, Q-Ba-Maze is unpredictable! The steel balls can travel in any direction since each cube opens on two sides, creating a live demonstration of probability, physics and art all in one! Q-Ba-Maze 2.0: Rails Builder Set will add even more design action to the Q-Ba-Maze fun for kids.

Kids love roller coasters and kids love K'Nex building sets, so now we have two to choose from. Both the K'Nex Double Doom Roller Coaster and the K'Nex Hyperspeed Hangtime Roller Coaster stand over three feet tall and will give your eight-year-old hours of building time.

Kids can build with color and light too, when they build the Laser Pegs 8-in-1 Scout Helicopter or the Laser Pegs 12-in-in Formula Racer. This is the perfect glow-as-you-go building experience.

Building toys for eight-year-olds that foster STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Science) are creating quite a stir with parents and educators alike. Kids building sets help them to boost concentration, critical thinking skills, as well as increasing architectural and engineering interests.
