The toy segment is following consumer technology closely, though, and many of the same trends that we see at major shows like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/ces-2015/" target="_blank">CES</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/ifa-2014/" target="_blank">IFA</a> are also evident at the international toy fairs ... only in smaller, simpler, more child-friendly packages. Proclaimed as the world's biggest toy fair, the Nuremberg Toy Fair ("Spielwarenmesse" in German), which wrapped up earlier this week, gave us a good feel for how toy companies are incorporating the latest technologies, including robotics and connectivity. <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/in-pictures-2015-nuremberg-toy-fair/35835/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="35933"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/bonsai-lab-3d-printing-for-kids/35933/">Bonsai Lab makes 3D printing fun for the whole family </a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">C.C.

And as with other big tech crazes before it – think smartphones and tablets – the age of entry is lowering. Last year, we took a look at the ill-fated <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/printeer-3d-printer-kids/32571/" target="_blank">Printeer kids' printer</a>. The all-new Bonsai Lab BS Toy we checked out at the recent 2015 Nuremberg Toy Fair picks up where that one left off, offering a simple design aimed at families and children. <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/bonsai-lab-3d-printing-for-kids/35933/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="35758"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/70-vintage-pedal-cars-lead-to-record-sale-of-automobilia-collectibles/35758/">70 vintage pedal cars lead to record sale of automobilia collectibles</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/author/mike-hanlon/">Mike Hanlon</a></div> <div class="date">January 30, 2015</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/70-vintage-pedal-cars-lead-to-record-sale-of-automobilia-collectibles/35758/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/70-vintage-pedal-cars-lead-to-record-sale-of-automobilia-collectibles/35758/pictures">82 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/70-vintage-pedal-cars-lead-to-record-sale-of-automobilia-collectibles/35758/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011531im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/top-70-vintage-pedal-cars.jpg" title="The Pratte Collection auctioned last week, is best known for containing Carroll Shelby’s 8..." alt="The Pratte Collection auctioned last week, is best known for containing Carroll Shelby’s 8..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> The Pratte Collection <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317011531/http://www.gizmag.com/scottsdale-auctions-2015-results-rare-cars/35681/" target="_blank">auctioned last week</a>, is best known for containing Carroll Shelby’s 800 hp Super Snake Cobra, the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Concept car and the GM Futurliner, but it also contained one of the largest collection of childrens' cars ever assembled.
