Whether you’re a slightly unhinged Caractacus Potts (ask your Uncle) type of inventor or more mainstream Mister Maker type creator we urge you to take a look at this 266 piece set from the Italian toy makers of note Quercetti. More famous for their fine marble run builds their latest kits enable the creation of multiple different machines using cranks, cogs and elastic belts that’ll have you mesmerised upon completion. We’re always fans of playthings that have that educational aspect of course but more importantly interesting enough to stay on display and not shoved back into its box and consigned to the dark side of the cupboard (where toastie machines and plushes won at fairgrounds dwell) – Available at Wicked Uncle
