Yet another Magformers toy. It can’t fly, but children can carry it around and play with it.

K’Nex Beginner Set – Box
Unlike some other K’Nex sets, this one comes in a small cardboard box and not in a plastic case.
Clics Trees
A model the manufacturer proposes for the Clics blocks set – a tree with a spherical top.
ClicsToys is a Belgian company that was established in 2001. It makes the well-known Clics building blocks in its own factory in Kempen. Clics building sets have square pieces of identical form and shape. They easily connect at their edges, creating joints you can move.
With These plastic squares, you can create surfaces and fold them into 3D shapes. There are endless possibilities, even though Clics have very few extra pieces and accessories. Some sets have wheels and decorative panels, but this is pretty much it. On the other hand, Clics sets usually have many pieces, so you can create something truly complicated from just one set.
Since the basic pieces of any Clics blocks set are squares, all the basic forms you can assemble from it are cubic or brick-like. However, thanks to the movable joints, you can assemble them at different angles, creating different shapes.
There are ways to create triangular or sloping figures if you assemble the pieces just right. The cubes, however, are the most sturdy and reliable structures this set can offer. There are also a possibility of creating a flat mosaic, combining the pieces of different colors.
KID K’NEX Build A Bunch Set – Crafts
Some of the creatures manufacturer proposes to build from the Build a Bunch set.
Car And Traffic Lights
Made from EDTOY Architecture wooden set. We build two models from one set of pieces: hood – trunk, trunk – hood + a pair of headlights, the wheels spin perfectly when the car is moving.
Straw Art Flower
Flower from the Chinese building Straw Art Kit (4M manufacturer). It’s a bright and simple building kit, we love it.
Building straws, also known as building tubes, are a popular type of construction set with unique possibilities. They allow you to create silhouettes and contours of different objects and animals. All crafts from these sets can bend and move, so kids can actually play with their creations.
Instead of blocks, these sets have flexible plastic tubes, that look and act like soft cocktail straws or cable isolation. they can bend in any way and hold any position you want. The tubes usually attach to each other with special plastic connectors. The connectors can look and work differently in the different sets, but there are always many ways the straws can connect. The most common version is hard pins that go inside the straw’s hollow end, fixing it in place. Some connectors of this type have only one or two pins, some may have eight or ten. they also can have different forms, like sharp corners or straight rods. However, this connection type usually means that you can connect the straws only with their ends, and never with their middles.
These straws have great building potential, but, sadly, they can’t hold their shape under pressure (unlike, say, block towers that can hold something on their top). The straws’ building possibilities also depend on how long they are.
Half Of The Plastic Parts And Magnetic Sticks

Nets Tribe Soft Blocks – Numbers
The main downside of this set is its small number of pieces, so you need many sets to build bigger,more complex things. One set of blocks is enough to build a big plush toy or, say, kid-sized chair.
The Well
The balls easily attached themselves to the metal box, and these magnet ball bars are strong enough to stand and hold a bucket.
MAGNA-TILES Stardust
This is a small, but interesting set by Magna-Tiles. All squares in this set have either glittery plastic or mirror surface. All crafts made from this set has unique appearence. The cons are small size of the set (only 15 pieces) and small choice of shapes – there are only triangles and squares. However, you can use Stardust with any other Magna-Tiles set, adding mirrors and glitter to your crafts.
