Lego Star Wars Toys - A Successful Partnership

The familiar Lego block has been a very popular toy for several decades. Very versatile and fun to build with they have many adult devotees as well as kids.

The company was very far sighted in obtaining the license from Lucas films to manufacture Star Wars toys. Popular movies come and go but Star Wars remains ever popular with a worldwide cult like following. This series of toys was introduced in 1999 and has had many additions since then.

The Lego line of Star Wars toys started with figures and vehicles from the trilogy(Episodes IV-VI). At a later date new sets and releases were introduced to cover the earlier prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III).

All the main themes of the series of movies have been recreated. The characters are typical Lego style figures with the usual square heads and bodies. Slight differences in color and the headwear and clothing distinguish them from one another.

Star Wars characters have a wide variation in the head type, size and shape. Lego decided to make special molds for the heads which are true to these characters. Unique and completely original molds were created for these figures. Darth Vader is a good example of this special treatment. Light sabers were also added to the line since it would not be complete without these very well known weapons.

All of the well known star ships and assorted other vehicles are included in the series. The Millennium Falcon is likely the most popular vehicle. The X-wing fighter, the Imperial AT-ST, speeders and TIE fighters were all included. A series of location sets from several of the movies is also included to accompany the vehicles that were in the movie.

Lego has produced a huge variety of Star Wars paraphernalia. Their Technic line includes several of these items. The Technics line has more complex parts which are capable of movement and are more realistic than the well known Lego figures.

The Ultimate collector series has large and very complex designs in Star Wars material. The Millenium Falcon in this series for instance has over 5000 pieces and is the biggest Lego set ever produced.

This series of video games is definitely the best selling Lego product ever made. These video games were hugely popular and were a hit with both Star Wars devotees and video gamers. The first of the video games was based on the prequel trilogy, and the second game was based on the original trilogy. The two games were later packaged and sold together as one complete Star wars edition.

Lego Star Wars toys, figures and other items are extremely popular with both adults and children. This is one of the really great success stories in toy production history.

Lego - Long Lasting Educational Toys

As parents, we want the best for our children - a safe 'warm' home and society, a healthy balance diet and a challenging learning environment to make sure they get all the opportunity to grow up progressively.

Toys will be our children's first learning equipment. Learning in the early years are important, acquiring skill such as visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, shape & color recognition, motor skills and etc will be the foundation for future learning. While our children are growing, we would have bought many toys, educational or non-educational, but the main goal of playing with these toys is to provide lots of fun for them. They will unknowingly acquire many skills along the way. They learn best when they are having fun.

Choosing the right toys to encourage and motivate children learning is important and also quite difficult at times. What toys can we buy for them so they can have fun and also learn at the same time?

Poorly built and sub standard toys hardly stand a chance in the hands of curious and fun loving children these days. Lego toys are quality assured, common and well-known, long lasting, and readily available at local shops and online stores. They are the only educational toys I have seen in my house that last longer that anything else my children have.

Lego provides fresh ideas to children, stimulates them to be creative, they work as a team patiently and will be confident with what they have accomplished. Kids also tend to play with Lego over and over again, coming up with different designs and builds all the time. As long as we keep and maintain the interest in our children to play and learn, they will keep this momentum through the rest of their growing lives.

Lego will provide years of fun and learning activities for our children, and their children too!

Toy Trucks As Educational Toys - Wooden Toy Trucks Versus Lego Toy Trucks

Although wooden toy trucks have been a prized possession of children for decades, there is no doubt that the innovation and excitement involved with building your own truck with Lego construction blocks is unparalleled.

Learning though play is one of the most popular forms of educating children during their early years. However, the quality of knowledge and a child's development are very much dependent on whether the toys with which they play are educational toys or not. As a parent, one of the most important responsibilities is therefore, to provide suitable educational toys to your children in order to encourage and enhance their learning and development.

In terms of educational value, Lego is widely-renowned as being an educational toy forerunner in international stakes for children aged three and up. Whereas wooden toy trucks have fixed dimensions and capabilities, the variation of each Lego toy truck remains limited only by the imagination, creativity, and skill of the child building it.

Every child has a unique perception of what an ideal truck looks like in his or her mind based on seeing cars and trucks on a daily basis. Because of this, a child can relate to them, learn their movements, construction, and capabilities through building replicas or variations of them.

Through observation, parents can get an idea as to how their child's motor skills are developing and on an interactive level, are able to participate in the building of a Lego toy truck with their child, which fosters good child-parent relationships.

Lego blocks are designed to develop young starters' minds while stretching their imagination and cultivating their ability for creativity. Not only do we as parents believe that, we remember it, having built our own toy trucks from Lego as children all those years ago, with little thought for any wooden toy trucks that may have been in the vicinity.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dimitris_Melis]Dimitris Melis

Children have already started making their Christmas lists. Yes, okay, Christmas is about sharing, but children see Christmas as the time of getting presents. The rest are mostly adults' preoccupations. Sometimes parents have difficulty finding great presents for their little ones as they hardly know what is in fashion or a great hit with children. If you need help this year then you are at the right page. We give you the top 10 Christmas toys which are great for boys and girls of all ages. This year you can actually satisfy your child more than you can imagine. Let's take a look at these top toys.

1. Kidizoom Digital Camera Pink from Vtech. If your little girl is all about taking pictures and is always nagging to get your digital camera then this is the best present for her. She can take as many pictures as she likes and all that with a very sophisticated camera. This Kidizoom camera is designed for small hands and is also very sturdy so no matter how many times it falls down it will survive. If it is too early for your little girl to have a normal digital camera then this is what you should get her.

2. Rubik's 360. This new puzzle craze  has the shape of a sphere. This is a large plastic sphere which has six coloured domes around the main surface. Inside the large sphere there are two more spheres which are smaller, one inside the other. Just like the original version of the Rubik's cube this one will also get you hooked up and you will not be bale to put it down. This is a very clever gift that anyone will like and you will make them use their brains a little bit. This is for children above 8.

3. Transformer's Bumblebee Helmet. If your child likes Transformers then he actually be one with this new helmet.  The helmet is very detailed so that you look just like Transformers Bumblebee and apart from that there are also the phrases from the movie. You can also make your voice sound like Bumblebee. Get ready to eliminate all the Decepticons as you become a real Transformer.

4. Bop It Extreme 2. This is a great game for children above 8 but adults can also have tons of fun with it. This looks like a wheel but it is a lot more than that. The game sounds easy but are you able to handle it and follow the instructions as you listen to them? As you play the instructions come out faster and you need to be really quick to keep up. You can play on your own or have your friends over and have lots of fun.

5. Tomy Pop Up Pirate. This is a classic game that can be played by the whole family and it is great fun. You have to push the sword into the barrel and hope that you will not be the one that will make the pirtae pop up. Because if this happens you lose. And this game doesn't need any batteries so this is the all the better for you and your pocket.

6. Picooz Radio Controlled Helicopter. If you are into flying but you are far from becoming a pilot then this is your chance to practice. You can have your very own helicopter and fly it even indoors. This is a great pastime as it will give you lots of fun and action. The helicopter is  very light so it will not damage any furniture or walls that it might hit on. If the weather is good you can also fly this outdoors. It is also very affordable for what it offers.

7. Screature Dinosaur. Screature has  a bad nature and is not afraid to show that. If you pet him on the wrong place he will show and may even attack you. But if you pet him right he will be your trusted friend. He will even be your guard, of the room and your stuff. This Christmas this will be a big hit as all children like dinosaurs as they are huge and mighty.

8. Fluffy Go Walkies. This is a little dog that you can take out on walks. It can also bark if you press the right button. The head glows and sparkles. This is more than a walk dog, it is a friend. If you can't take a little puppy for your child then this is the next best thing.
