Name: Old Century Baseball
Company: FRONT PORCH CLASSICS
Age: 6 and up
Price: $129.95
Category: Wooden Toys
Front Porch Classics’ (ToyDirectory, ToyShow) Old Century Baseball game is a stunning vision of craftsmanship and low-tech fun. Created as a testament to baseball stadiums of yesteryear, the 27” x 27” pinball game lets players flip a wooden bat-paddle and strike a metal ball into holes marked “single,” “double,” “triple,” home run” and “out.”
OC Baseball’s superior construction and attention to detail -- players can keep score with a real wooden scoreboard –- create a whimsical masterpiece that is sure to keep kids and parents delighted long after those battery-operated toys have run out of juice.
The exquisite all-wooden construction is an absorbing magnet, and it’s no surprise that the game topped Family Fun Magazine’s list of best toys of 2002. Retailers that display this game should bet on a constant stream of interested onlookers.

Designed by educator Eileen Glick, these large-sized unfinished Rubberwood (a replenishable hardwood from Asia) blocks will surely be a hit with preschoolers.
The 32-piece set fits togethher with ease while offering plenty of construction possibilities for both boys and girls. These simple blocks even managed to put a smile on my face. On a Monday. At 4pm. Not an easy task.

Name: Matchitecture
Company: BOJEUX INC.
Age: 10 and up
Price: $7.5
Category: Wooden Toys
Matchitecture by Jouets BJ Toys (ToyDirectory, ToyShow) comes with 500 wooden match sticks (minus the head), a “Microbeam Cutter” for cutting the sticks to size, and wood glue and tweezers for handling the construction.
Also included are detailed instructions for building the construction excavator on the box cover. This kit would be great for a Tween with patience (if there is such a thing) who’s still too young to get into shop class.

Name: Kapla Blocks – 40 piece set
Company: KAPLA USA
Age: 3-Adult
Price: $29.95
Category: Wooden Toys
A deceptively plain block set, Kapla blocks are made of identical finished pine pieces small enough to be grasped by the preschool crowd, available in two-color sets or as plain wood. Each kit includes a sturdy picture book with sample constructions of buildings, animals and abstract designs.
Because there are no pre-made connectors to attach the blocks, a child’s imagination is given free reign to create anything – from organic shapes, to cars, houses, family pets or whatever else he or she can dream up.
With no pre-written narratives, licensed characters or “interactive” technology to be followed, a kid can simply open the box and start creating, with no right or wrong outcome. A word of advice: Kapla blocks are too light to stand well on carpet, wood or linoleum would be best. Also available are also larger sets of 200 or 1,000 blocks.
