If there were a city just for kids, it would be filled with toys from this collection. Youngsters can head off to work with a fully-stocked tool box, complete with knit hammer and screwdriver, or take a day off at the zoo with huggable animals like owls and monkeys. Or they can unlock another world entirely—a fantasy one of dragons, castles, and royalty. This collection even includes games like a bowling set!
