They not only help to develop critical thinking and problem skills, but they also introduce kids to the world of science and technology. I really like the Lego Mindstorm NXT kits. They offer all the pieces that you need to create a number of different robots, including robots that respond to sound and movement. My students love them, and so does my son.
