A look at some of the latest products from the 113th Annual North American International Toy Fair that are blurring the line between modern engineering and toys.

The Annual North American International Toy Fair was held last week at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City. The event showcases the latest and greatest toys coming out for the year, many of them making their debut at the fair.

Included in the top toy trends of 2016 announced by Toy Industry Association (TIA), the Official Voice of Toy Fair, were STEM or STEAM (with the A standing for Arts) toys and games.
