From Smart Alphabet Toys to Coding Character Barbies

These July 2016 educational toys range from smart alphabet tools to coding character Barbies that reject stereotypical gender roles.

Additional notables include classroom 3D printers and interactive toy blocks that are digitally connected to teach kids about structural fundamentals while simultaneously enhancing their overall play experience.

Other July 2016 educational toys include buildable space station modules that encourage hands-on play and strategic learning. Playmobil's 'Space Rocket with Launch Site' toy is a great example that introduces kids to space travel while encouraging creativity and customization.
