Tegu Fire Engine
These are Tegu blocks on wheels, which exist since 2012. We liked the wheels – they sit tight and spin well. We made a lot of cars. At first, small, simple ones, consisting of just a few cubes, and then bigger, more complicated cars. Like a fire truck, that quickly rolls around the apartment.
The Japanese Variant Of Magna-Tiles – Pythagoras
The American Magna-Tiles was released in Japan under the name Pythagoras. The photo shows crafts made from Japanese Magna-Tiles. The main set contains 64 parts – more than the original American Magna-Tiles Deluxe, but there are no platform with wheels. Good quality.

Roof Of The Tower
We assembled the roof separately and then attached it to the top of the tower.
ZOOB BuilderZ
Zoob Builderz is an interesting set that focuses on moving models. Technialy, all Zoob models can move, but this set includes a string and rubber bands to create things like trampoline or a catapult. This set is a better choice for older kids, who can learn many interesting things from it.
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.
HABA Fantasia – All Pieces
All 95 wooden details of the German mosaic. Very joyful and pleasant pieces, funny faces, positive animals. The size of the pieces is small: the width of the cat’s muzzle is 36 mm, the smallest pieces are the rectangles in the lower right corner – 8×17 mm. We bought the mosaic 5-year-old Arisha, she loves small details in mosaics. The mosaic is not suitable for the outdoors – the pieces are too small, so we play at home. The mosaic comes with a square (side 24.5 cm) tablet with a frame for creating pictures. There are holes in the tablet, so you can hang the picture on a wall for admiring. But it seemed too small to us, so we use a black magnetic board 30×30 cm. And on a black background, the pictures look even better.
Just an element
The element rotating in the center of the structure is a very important feature according to my older son and his younger sisters, who actively participated in building this temple for the element.
Our Tower
Big structures like this one can be built surprisingly quickly, and the magnets are strong enough to keep them together.
