Soup Up Your Own Automoblox

When a toy can engage a child's imagination yet indulge his fascination with cars as well as evoke the quality of a classic wooden toy yet possess a sleek futuristic design fit to be displayed in a modern home, it's no wonder it would be named a 2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award Winner.

Automoblox cars, designed by Patrick Calello, lets your children's creativity take hold. Made of German beech wood, the vehicles have interchangeable parts that can be taken apart and mixed and matched to create their own dream ride. While providing hours of fun, it'll also teach your children skills in shape recognition and color matching.

I can't wait for my little one to be old enough to play with it. Maybe I'll just have to play for her until then.

Choose from six different Automoblox models at Bright October.
