The Ball

The ball turned out to be big – 2-year-old Alesya is holding it in the photo. We played with it, threw it to each other and up. The magnets are so strong that the ball kept its shape. Alesya, who was watching the game, finally took the ball away and threw it to the ground, probably thinking that it would bounce, and the ball turned into a bunch of details.

Zoob Racerz Building Set

Zoob Racerz Building set focuses on building moving cars. It has 76 pieces, but 12 wheels with moving tires, and offers many vehicle model to build. You can build up to 3 cars at once. Also this set has typical Zoob pieces of rarer silver color.

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.

Da Vinci Aircraft – Composition Of The Set And Escaped Parts

We liked the set because of abundance of propellers. There are as many as 3 of them fors such a small number of parts. The children love the propellers and fit them anywhere they can. We also liked these long oval parts – with their help, you can lengthen the structure, make wings, a roof, etc. Unfortunately, there are only 1 cylinder, 1 ball and 1 pyramid in the set. So there are constant disputes and debates between a 3-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter about these piece. Children simply cannot be torn off Edtoy sets.
Long after taking this the photo, I noticed that one detail – the red button (exactly the same as the orange one in the upper right corner) escaped.
There is also a pilot in this set, but we laid him off immediately, because Afonya doesn’t accept the presence of pilots, drivers and machinists in his vehicles. So the pilot is still on a long vacation.

Geomag Color Set

This is essentially a basic Geomag with colorful magnetic rods and metal balls. Only panels these sets have are solid base plates which help to hold the craft together. There are many sizes of Color sets, and, as it often is with Geomag, sets of different sizes have different colors. This photo shows the biggest Color set.
