English term or phrase: Manipulative toys or manipulatives
Four-year-olds enjoy a greater variety of experiences and more small motor activities like scissors, art, **manipulatives,** and cooking.
En otras partes, en lugar de manipulatives, dice Manipulative Toys.

¿Habra algun nombre especifico en español para estos juguetes?

Muchas gracias, Daniel. Ya me parecia que tenia que ser esto. Seguramente se trata de muñecos articulados, como los superheroes que estuvieron tan de moda hace unos diez años, e incluso las Barbies.
Un cordial saludo, Maria Eugenia

"Juguetes que se pueden manipular"


Explanation:
My understanding from the use of "Manipulatives", "Manipulative Toys", and logically so, is simply that they are 'toys that can be manipulated/played with' by the hands (depending on the context, they may also be other parts of the body). Manipulation by squeezing, touching, or interacting in some other way.

I would translate this as:
"Juguetes que se pueden manipular"

On other synonyms for manipulate in this context, I'm not sure (sincere, but generous).

agree  Refugio: This is what we call them in California. The term usually refers to objects that require, or teach, some manual dexterity to use. In reading, they include magnetic letters to rearrange and trays of sand to write in,
