CreAtiles, an interactive toy for 3- to 10-year-olds, is on sale at the Conran Shop. I know, I know, the store is in New York, but at 60% off (originally $250, now $100) you can afford to pay the shipping -- about $18 -- and still get a deal. Each box comes with 49 different-sized fabric-covered foam tiles and accessories that join with Velcro fasteners to make seemingly endless configurations (think a car or a castle). The toy helps children develop their motor skills, and perhaps most important, their imaginations.
