PHOTO FRIDAY: Building to entertain
This Lego castle display in the basement of a home in Windsor, Ontario is just one example of a growing interest in construction toys for kids and adults. Lego bricks, puzzles, craft kits and outdoor toys are just some of the items included in rising toy sales in 2020. With life at a standstill and many still quarantining, people continue to search for at home entertainment, especially homes with children. Toy sales in the U.S. were up 16 per cent in the first six months of 2020, with more than $300 billion US worth of toy sales happening online. Photo by Zachary Balogh
