In 1901 Frank Hornby of Liverpool, England produced the first metal construction toy and sold it under the name Meccano. The first set was made up of different lengths of metal strips that could be connected together with nuts and bolts. The same basic concept holds true today for Erector and Meccano construction toys. Meanwhile, A.C. Gilbert made the construction toy famous in the United States with his version of the construction set called Erector. First introduced in 1913, Erector sets expanded upon the idea introduced in Europe, adding pulleys, gears and new metal pieces.The two companies competed in the U.S. market until 1930 when Gilbert purchased the rights to produce Meccano in the U.S., with manufacturing taking place in Connecticut near the Erector factory. This relationship continued until around 1938. Soon after, all steel toy manufacturing was halted due to World War II. After the war, Gilbert went back to producing only Erector branded toys and Meccano was once again manufactured in Europe and sold in the U.S. on a limited basis. After A.C. Gilbert died in 1961, the Erector name was sold off to many different toy companies, until Meccano acquired the name around 1990.

Today Meccano continues to produce Erector branded toys for the U.S. market and the Meccano brand to the rest of the world. Meccano and Erector toys are produced in Calais, France and Hong Kong. BRIO Corporation is now the sole distributor for Erector toys in the United States

KID’S MUSIC

Daddy’s Lullabies, by the Re-Bops, $15.99, cd. Dads are generally known for their rollicking and good-natured rough housing. In this compilation album, though, they proudly show their softer, sweeter side by expressing love and devotion through music to the special little people in their lives. From the poignant title cut, "Daddy's Lullabies," and cuddly "Baby Bear's Lullaby" to the humorous "Waffle Dreams" and '50s doo-wop "Goodnight Sweetheart," the range of musical styles here has a strong appeal and tiny tots will enjoy the soothing, gentle tunes. A unique feature of the album is that it includes instrumentals, which when combined with the included lyrics allow dads (and moms) to sing, karoake style, to their little sleepyheads. --Deborah Moore

Beethoven’s Wig, by Richard Perlmutter, $15.99, cd. Inspired and wildly imaginative, Beethoven's Wig is one of the best introductions to classical music you could give to your children. Featuring snippets of 11 classical music staples--Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, et al.--the disc and its creators, Richard Perlmutter and friends, pour on the silly lyrics the first time around to familiarize young ears to the old masters. Then in the last half of the record, the orchestra plays the same "serious" music pieces instrumentally. You might cheerfully recall Alan Sherman's popular spoofs of old classical works in Wig and you'll again chuckle at pieces like "Drip, Drip, Drip," which adapts Delibes's "Pizzicato from Sylvia." You'll also marvel at the expertise throughout the CD, with all the pieces well played yet thoroughly fun. Beethoven's Wig is an orchestral treasure with a sense of humor as old or as new as its listeners (and the fun questions that run throughout the CD's liner notes are almost as entertaining as the zany musical interludes). Highly recommended. --Martin Keller
