(Although I reject the assumption that they are just for boys.) :P
Only one of the best toys EVER! You can be neat, you can be messy, you can use all of the things you find outside and just really get creative. Ahhhh, now I want to play in a mud pie kitchen!

So many games were played with no assembly/purchase required. All you needed to know were the rules.
You can probably remember playing some of these as a child (or if you are like me, now.) ROFLMAO

You can make your own little medieval weapons with which to lay siege..from desk to desk..or wherever. ;P
