At first, I had bad opinion about the Edtoy set with gears, but the boys really liked them. The eldest – Afonya (3.5 years old) preferred large, red and yellow ones. And the youngest – Arkhip (2 years old) took all the small blue ones for himself and constantly decorates his simple crafts with them.
The Geomag My Castle Big Set has a large number of cardboard inserts that you can color yourself. The scenes on cardboard are very interesting, but we haven’t got our hands on them yet, there are enough of ready-made inserts.
Quick little crafts made in the hotel room in the morning. While the older ones were busy packing, Alesya and Arisha (her crafts are below), the younger daughters, engaged in construction to avoid getting in the way of the adults. Wooden Magnastix blocks and plastic Magneblocks were used – they are nearly identical in size and color.

Zoob 125 piece set is a classic Zoob set in all possible ways. It has those typical Zoob pieces with balls and sockets, but no extra pieces. These are the Zoob 125 pieces of typical Zoob colors and shapes.
Back in 1997, inventor Michael Grey introduced Zoob, a toy inspired by the science of motion and organism development. Zoob represents an acronym for Zoology, Ontology, Ontogeny, and Botany. Each set has rod-like pieces with joint balls and sockets on their ends. Each of these balls has small bumps on its surface, so the joints can both move and stay in a certain position if you need them to.
This innovative toy features a ball and socket connection system, mimicking the natural movement and design found in people, animals, and machines. With just five basic shapes, Zoob offers 20 different ways to connect them together.
Zoob building sets have won awards because they’re different from regular building blocks. They use plastic pieces that snap together, like gears and joints, to build all kinds of objects, limited only by your imagination. After you build something with Zoob, you can actually play with it – the pieces were designed to move after being assembled, so you can have fun with the toys you create.
Zoobs are great for helping children improve their fine motor skills. The pieces are small enough to easily manipulate and put them together. But they’re not too tiny like some other toys, so it’s easier for kids who find small objects tricky.

There are only 3 types of Zoob Jr. pieces for babies. They are 4 inches long, diameter of the ball is 0.8 inch. The parts material is softer plastic, similar to some dense rubber. These pieces are very comfortable for small hands. Not compatible with regular Zoob parts.
