This morning I saw an article about toys, specifically toys for the "proto-geek" and started thinking of some of the toys that I and my sister had. This list is by no means complete and is somewhat biased to what I had, but there is a common theme. These are items that require effort on the user's part to create, or at least assemble. Sure, you could wreck things, but you had to build them first.

The lesson was that creation took effort and while destruction might seem easy and satisfying, rebuilding was not. I wonder if too many kids nowadays aren't taught this lesson.
