Category: Plastic Building Kits

Plastic building kits are construction sets designed for children that primarily utilize plastic components. These kits consist of various interlocking pieces, connectors, panels, and accessories that allow children to build and create a wide range of structures, vehicles, and other imaginative designs.

Plastic building kits are known for their versatility, durability, and ease of use. The pieces are often designed to fit together securely, enabling children to construct stable and sturdy creations. These kits usually come with a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing for endless possibilities and encouraging children to think creatively and problem-solve while constructing their designs.

Many plastic building kits also incorporate specialized parts such as wheels, hinges, and gears, adding an extra level of functionality and enabling children to create movable and interactive models. Some kits may even include motorized components that bring the creations to life with spinning gears or moving parts.

These kits are popular among children of various age groups and provide numerous educational benefits. They promote fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and logical thinking. Additionally, plastic building kits foster creativity, imagination, and cognitive development as children design and build their own unique structures and scenarios.

Overall, plastic building kits offer a stimulating and engaging way for children to explore construction, design, and engineering concepts while having fun and unleashing their creativity.

Quercetti Georello Toolbox

This Georello Toolbox set by Quercetti has all the essential thing you’d desire in a gear system. Firstly, their construction quality is top-notch, and the pieces have robust and solid design. The set also has a seamless gear interface, so they interlock securely. With this reliable connections and sturdy pieces, the set allows you to build machines that can perform real work. This set also comes in a sturdy box. The lid of this box becomes a building baseplate, and pole pieces of this set can turn into a handle.

The set includes several base plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. Nearly half the time these are in use at our house, kids made colorful boxes from them. So, they’re not just basic pieces but are interesting decorations in their own. The second set of pieces has support structures, which are tubes and joints that interlock to create sturdy poles. These pieces come in a consistent size, without the frustration of dealing with components at slightly different heights, a problem we’ve encountered with other sets in the past. The support connects are sturdy, so that the structures stay intact once they’re built.

In addition to the gears, this set also comes with attachments like chains and rubber bands. You can use them to connect groups of gears that would otherwise be separate. Also, you can use them with other toys and building sets.

Quercetti Playform – Ferris Wheel

Playform is an unusual building kit by Quercetti. All its pieces are transparent tiles that connect with they edges.

Unlike many other building tile sets, Quercetti Playform has no magnets. Instead, its pieces have rows of pins on their edges. These pins can interlock together at different angles, keeping the pieces together. Sadly, only two of four sides of the each piece has pins. Other two sides are smooth and can’t form any connections, which limits building possibilities of the set.

However, you can still build many different and unexpected shapes from this set. The pieces have similar shape – they all are rectangular and have the pin on opposite sides. But they can have differen width, and many pieces can connect to each other in the same point at once. Because of this, the number of possible crafts is almost unlimited. All pieces are translucent, but they have different colors, so any craft from this set looks beautiful.

As of now, there is only one Playform set with 60 pieces. Since they have no magnets, the pieces are safer for children than the most building tiles, and they are too big to swallow them. However, this set may be too abstract for the smaller kids, so the recommended age is 5+.
