Souptoys~ Free Toys For Your Desktop

Souptoys is a collection of over 100 virtual toys for your PC, your child can create a playroom right on your desktop, and all the games are free. The virtual toy box was created with children in mind, so there’s no reading, other than in the tutorial to get started.
Kids can go online and upload their ‘playset’ creations to the website from their desktop toy box to play with others in the sandbox. They can also comment on the playsets of other players.
Souptoys has over 20,000 “kid created playsets” uploaded on the site.
Souptoys is built on the real-world nature of the toys, based on physics principals, so it also makes for a learning experience, but don’t tell the kids they might learn something!
The game duplicates a child’s wooden toy box full of toys, including basketballs, robots, wooden blocks, snowmen, cannons, flying bees and a pirate ship. With its open-ended design, the possibilities are endless and players are limited only by their imagination.
Big kids will probably enjoy the game as much as the little ones, so don’t come back and tell me I didn’t warn you after you’ve downloaded some toys for yourself.
