Educational toys

Please could I have any suggestions for really good educational toys please.
Looking for a 12 year old boy.
Nothing too far above age range. A couple of years younger would still work.
Things that are educational but also fun please.

Can you tell us a bit more?
Not many 12 year olds would want "toys" as gifts, in the general run of things.

Well, just about any toy with the right play value is educational.

What sort of things does he like?

Most "toys" are educational in some capacity.

What does he enjoy and what type of learning are you focused on?

Does he have any specific needs?

Interested in this thread?
