With 2 sets of Geomag Kor, playing is much more interesting. We immediately made this cute owlet.
Kor Owlet

The Flower
This is an interesting, non-standard mosaic. There are options for toddlers, but we chose the Travel option for older children. Slim white tin box with 100 parts in 6 colors for improvisations. The manufacturer propose to assemble 90(!) different pictures. The length of the pieces is 35 mm and 20 mm.
Small Tiko House
Another outdoors Tiko model – a house, probably for the gnomes.
Pythagoras, Tiko, and Tako are vintage building sets. They have big panels of different colors and shapes, that connect by the edges. Each piece has sockets and balls that can snap together, connecting the pieces. You can also connect the pieces of different shapes, as long as their sides match. This connection is strong enough to hold even the biggest structures together.
Because of the sockets’ form, Pythagoras and Tiko panels can form both flat surfaces and 3D shapes. The flexible joint connection means that you can connect the pieces at different angles. The bigger panels are huge – they are a few inches long, so kids can create toy hats or items to hold, and not just toys. They are sturdy enough to wear and to play with. There also are smaller pieces that can help connect the bigger pannels together or make smaller crafts. The pieces of this set have all kinds of shapes – there are different triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, and so on, all in different colors.
Sadly, Amazon seemingly has no sets exactly like Tiko and Pythagoras, but some very similar concepts also are interesting enough.
Tiko Turtle
Another craft – a turtle – we made from Tiko while exploring outdoors. Its head is amazing, it connects to the openings in the big green panels. Few building sets offer something like that.

Manetico Building Kit
I have long wanted to buy this German set for my youngest daughter. The details are nice and well made. A bright plastic and a very attractive shape for kids – pieces have the shape of their beloved Lego Duplo.
Genii Creation Has A Great Variety Of Pieces
Genii Creation – Transportation set. Page from the booklet.
Flower For Mommy
A big and colorful flower made as a gift.
Tegu Jungle – Cubes and Planks in the Colors of the Jungle
Tegu kits are made in Honduras – a poor country that American brothers Will and Chris Haughey are trying to help. They even gave the toy a Honduran name. Tegu is short for Tegucigalpa, the country’s capital. Since 2006, when the first blocks of Tegu saw the light of day, part of the money earned has been used to restore the forests of Honduras. Apparently, things are going well, the blocks disperse around the world, forests and jungles are growing. Back at the end of 2010, Tegu released sets in optimistic shades of green, brown and natural colors – the colors of the jungle. Some sets also contain yellow pieces – pieces of Honduras gold.
Tiko Star
We made this star with identical Tiko pieces – long and thing triangles. The only pity is that it’s hard to hang somewhere, you have to just let it lay around.
