While not an online or electronic learning aid, I am very impressed by my first (online) view of Goldie Blox. This set of construction toys linked to stories is designed to encourage girls to be interested in building/engineering/construction - education by doing. We have not seen it before – possibly because it appears overpriced currently in the UK – but it looks like a brilliant concept. Once I’ve found a cost effective way of buying I will review in more detail as it feels very relevant despite being 100% physical! Possibly the answer to your gift needs in 12 months' time.
Do post a comment if you have had experience with any Goldie Blox toys.
