Clics Day Nap

A dollhouse we made from a Clics building panels. It’s big enough for Baribie and her child, and holds together pretty well.

ClicsToys is a Belgian company that was established in 2001. It makes the well-known Clics building blocks in its own factory in Kempen. Clics building sets have square pieces of identical form and shape. They easily connect at their edges, creating joints you can move.
With These plastic squares, you can create surfaces and fold them into 3D shapes. There are endless possibilities, even though Clics have very few extra pieces and accessories. Some sets have wheels and decorative panels, but this is pretty much it. On the other hand, Clics sets usually have many pieces, so you can create something truly complicated from just one set.
Since the basic Clics building panels squares, all the basic forms you can assemble from it are cubic or brick-like. However, thanks to the movable joints, you can assemble them at different angles, creating different shapes.
There are ways to create triangular or sloping figures if you assemble the pieces just right. The cubes, however, are the most sturdy and reliable structures this set can offer. There are also a possibility of creating a flat mosaic, combining the pieces of different colors.

Magneatos Magnetic Construction Set

Magneatos from Guidecraft. Magnetic construction set for kids Magneatos has in not only large multi-colored plastic balls with a diameter of 5 cm and magnetic rods 13 and 8 cm long (diameter 3 cm), but also panels. Triangular and square panels are equipped with special holders. And there is the top of magnetic creativity – corrugated tubes that can stretch to the desired distance. The structures are not very stable, since the pull of the magnet and the plastic ball is not strong enough. The stick not always fixes in the right place, unlike in the magnet-metal ball variant. But the idea is good.

Tegu Truck

A car made from the Tegu wooden constructor. We used parts from different kits. In the center there is an orange pillar prism from the Explorer Nelson set. Its huge minus the absence of magnets on the sides. The arrow shows that there is no connection between the cube and the orange pillar, they just fit snugly together. The car rolls well.
