When I was a kid we had a collection of Lego bricks. (Lego comes from Denmark, where people are imaginative.) This was before it came in kits for you to assemble a complicated thing. We only had sets of bricks of varying sizes, in four colors, with a few accessories like wheels and a swivel, and you could make them into whatever you could think of. Very stimulative for creative growth.
One of the things we did with Lego was build vehicles and launch them at each other demolition derby-style. And I eventually got the idea of building a Lego gondola and sliding it out on the clothesline like a cable car.
We had some other building toys like Meccano, but it was Lego that really captured my imagination.
