SoupToys: desktop-based physics toys for toddlers and adults alike
Do you have a toddler that is always trying to play on your computer? Or maybe you have a small child within that misses playing with blocks and balls and toy cars?
Either way, you will like this free program. SoupToys lets you place a wide variety of toys on your desktop, from blocks to cars to ramps to balls etc. All of these objects are simulated to obey the laws of physics; you can fling them around or set them up to interact with each other, but what is more impressive is that all the toys behave as they should; magnets attract metal objects, basketballs bounce higher than soccer balls, care run and accelerate and careen over ramps, etc.
The program also features dozens of pre-made sets, instantly playable toys and objects arranged by a specific theme. You can join the Soup Toys community and download new ones or upload your own.With that in mind I have began my quest for such a virtual toy. I remembered your recommendation of the crayons physics toy, but still looked for something more realistic for him, and for free, and -viola – I have found it. It has the funny name “Soup Toys”. It is meant for the small aged or for those of us who still feel like that, but really after playing with it for sometime you can become addict for it. After Downloading it you’ll have a toy box (literally) on your desktop, integrated between your files and folders. The Box is full of them – balls , dolls, cannons, turning wheels – you name it… You can do with them whatever you like, and after short tutorial you learn it fast. But the object of the game it to build sort of Rudberg machines from your imagination.
The ToyBox comes with 100 prepared alignments of toys to play, destroy or rebuild as you like, but you can download thousands more from the site, built by others. It comes with audio sounds (different for each toy) and you can change the background for the playground other than your desktop (in case you don’t want the baby to destroy your folders while playing).
Version: 1.6.0.8Hope the kids enjoy the toys
