Child Playing with Super Cityscape Transport Bucket Set
Super Cityscape Transport Bucket Set is a toy that allows a user’s creativity to shine while quietly teaching foundational engineering skills.

This gift, like many others in this guide, supports design fundamentals through open-ended play. Users must figure out how to put the pieces together such that the different train cars can move freely. The many different pieces and kinds of tracks allow for a unique experience each play session and forces users to think outside of the box to come up with solutions that achieve the goals users set for themselves. All in all, this gift is an exploration of design in which anyone can participate. E. D. Corbeels, Purdue Reviewer
