Polydron Equilateral Triangle Set 2

This set by Polydron have only identical triangle pieces. All the tringles are equilateral triangles and have the same sizes. The color is the only difference between the pieces. However, there are 100 pieces in this set, so you can build many complex shapes from it alone.

Polydron is a brand of building sets. Most of the sets by this manufacturer have frames or tiles as the main pieces. Magnetic tiles are common among the building sets, but the non-magnetic tiles are much rarer. Polydron, however, has many building kits with plastic flat polygons that connect without magnets.

These pieces have serrated edges that lock together almost like pieces of a puzzle. Small pins slide to the side just enough to make space for the parts of another piece. They work like locks, holding the pieces firmly in place. This system allows you to connect the pieces at different angles and make flat surfaces or geometric sculptures.

The pieces of these sets are big – even the smallest of them are a few inches long. Because of this size and lack of any magnets, they are very safe to play with – though they may be too abstract for the smaller kids. They have different colors and shapes – triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and so on. Some of the biggest tiles have openings in them, so you can also connect something to their centers.

These sets have almost no decorations or moving pieces like wheels, so the abstract geometric shapes are the specialty of Polydron. These sets are great for explaining kids mathematical concepts, so they can be used in schools.

Clics Big Rollerbox Set – Boat

One of the counless models you can build from the big Rollerbox Clics kit. This set has many decorations and transparent pieces, like ones in this boat’s glass.

ClicsToys, a Belgian company established in 2001, operates its very own factory located in Kempen, where they craft the popular Clics building blocks. These building sets mostly have square pieces, all sharing identical form and shape. What sets Clics apart is their ability to connect smoothly at the edges, allowing flexible joint movements.

Using these plastic squares, the creative possibilities are endless, even though Clics sets usually offer relatively few extra pieces and accessories. Some sets may include wheels and decorative panels, but few extra items. The true strength of Clics lies in the generous number of pieces in their sets, allowing you to make even biggest creations with ease. The pieces of Clics are too big to swallow and easy to hold, so they are safe, but some connections can be too tricky to younger kids. So the most sets are recommended for children who are 3 years old or older. However, these sets will be interesting even for the 10-years-olds.

The fundamental building blocks in Clics are square, which naturally leads to the cubic or brick-like structures. However, the great advantage of these blocks is the ability to connect them at various angles, making diverse shapes. Careful assembly can even give you triangular or sloping figures. Nevertheless, the most robust and tough structures in Clics are cube-shaped. Additionally, you can create flat mosaics by combining pieces of different colors.
