Afomida Building Set
This is one of the countless Chinese clones of Zoob sets. Afomida building set has piece of the same shapes and size the original Zoob has, including the rotating wheels with rubber tires. The plastic of this set is somewhat cheap, but there are 125 pieces, and the set comes in a handy plastic box, so it can be a good travel option.
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.
Tent City
Tents from Jumbo Magz, the bonfire is also made of it. Travelers sleep peacefully in tents. But one does not sleep, though – he just returned from fishing.
The Sun, The Girl, And The Flower
First we got a travel version of this Fractiles mosaic – 96 pieces on a small black board (20×20 cm). The camping kit was bought for the eldest daughter. A little later, they bought an identical kit for the middle one – she was 3.5 years old back then. They took mosaics with them everywhere – 96 rhombuses of 3 colors saved them from boredom during long trips and trips to the doctor. When the younger daughters grew up, the eldest got another version with a large board. You can assemble mosaics on any other surface, but black boards are still more attractive and contrasting. We also use them are for other magnetic mosaics. The details are thin – 1mm, there are 3 sizes and 3 colors – rhombuses of red, yellow and blue colors.

Tegu – Wooden Blocks With Magnets
Birch cubes from American brothers Will and Chris Haughey. The name “Tegu” comes from Tegucigalpa – the capital of Honduras, the country the Hogei brothers try to help. A very nice kit in every respect. The details are not too large, not too small, just perfect for both small and large hands. It is fascinating to manipulate, all the time you hold them you want to build something. Details smell of wet birch, they are turned and varnished, without sharp corners. 12 cubes, 4 short planks and 10 long ones – all that makes up the Starter set. It is packed in a strong cardboard box, on the inside of which there is a story about magnets and trees. Dimensions: a cube – 3 cm, a short plank – 3x6x0.7 cm, a long plank – 3x12x0.7 cm.
Manufacturer claims that they make 1000 sets from 1 tree and, with the profits from the sale of these 1000 sets, plant another 100 trees. I would say that not 100, but much more, since the price of the set is not low. But I have contributed to the forests of Honduras, and I have no regrets. One important thing is that planks in this constructor have only 2 magnets – there are no magnets in the center, only at the edges.
