A small cute ladder we made from the Tako pieces.

Tako is another vintage building set. Its pieces are thin, open frames of different colors and sizes. All these frames have square shapes, and they connect to each other by the edges, forming all kinds of shapes. The manufacturer mostly proposed abstract geometric shapes as possible crafts, but these shapes look pretty, and you can use them to play along with some other toys.

Tako frames connect by the edges – they have tiny rails and empty spaces along the edges to put those rails in. As you can see, the edges are slightly asymmetrical, because the two sides of the square have the rails, and the other two have empty spaces. Sadly, the number of ways you can connect the pieces is limited. Many modern building sets offer more options. Of course, the pieces of the same size hold together the best. The pieces are beautiful but delicate and fragile – they can bend slightly, but they are also relatively easy to break accidentally.

Since all pieces are squares, the basic figure you can assemble is a cube, but it’s also possible to make prisms and other figures. They, however, are more tricky to assemble. The set has pieces of 4 different sizes and 6 colors.

Tako comes with a good instruction booklet with photographs of what you can make from construction set parts. The only thing I couldn’t do were triangular figures. At first it was impossible to connect the pieces with a little effort. Then I read in the manual “when your fingers get stronger, you will be able to assemble the prisms”. I decided that I could add pressure on the parts. The result was a broken part. I haven’t tried to make any more prisms yet :))

The second version of a Tako tower. This is the first one.

We just stacked the Tako squares on top of each other to make this tower.

You can make great cubes with Tako.

This construction kit’s name is “TAKO”. It consists of multi-colored square frames in 4 sizes and 6 colors.
