By transforming the ancient art of origami into an easy-to-use plastic building toy, Plastic Play (Gift Guide) has been turning heads in the toy industry. Their i-gami building sets caused a flurry of interest at the 2005 New York International Toy Fair, and they’ve already won an iParenting Media Award. The toy’s poised to launch this month, just in time for the Holidays 2006. Find out more about how five easy pieces can get little builders high in the next issue of TDmonthly Magazine.
