how to add three new sidebox for...

Hello, I have the 1.3.8a and I have to add 3 sideboxes.
I have a store of toys

I would to add

• 1 box on the left under categories, with the links at the producer, so for example Mattel, and if I click on Mattel it shows all Mattel products.

• 1 box on right on which insert link with boy and girl so when I click on girl I see all products for girl
  -1 box on right on which insert the different ages

how can I do?
and to have the selector by age or genre (boy or girl) I have to add options or attributes before?

Thank you very much

Go to this thread, last page for 2 different way:

thanks but I want to add 3 sideboxes, not all parent categories, so for example for age this age is contained at the product page and so I need a sort of selector (attribute option or other) to insert in the sidebox the related product with this attribute.

But... i continue this question in that post.
Thanks
