Playcube Photo Frame
A frame for a photo (a teddy bear figure) from the Playcube pieces.
This is a vintage set of interlocking cubes by the French Playcube brand. The set has a bunch of big cubes with rails and openings on their sides. The cubes can interlock with any of their sides. The direction of the rails sometimes limits the number of possible positions. But it’s not a big problem, since all the pieces are cubic and all their sides are equal.
The set also includes soft plastic figures to decorate the crafts. These figures are flat, they are just silhouettes with no further details. They are thick enough to hold between the rails on the cubes’ sides without falling out. They come in different shapes – there is a shell, a teddy bear, a horse, and so on. They also have different colors.
This set is simple and fairly basic. It has very few pieces and no extra pieces like wheels or alternative shapes. There are many things you can build from this set, but it has way fewer possibilities than the building sets for the older kids. However, it’s a good toy for younger children, with big pieces that are also pleasant to touch. And the connection method is somewhat unique, there are very few building sets that offer something exactly like it.
