Shades Of Green In Tegu Jungle

I tried to photograph Tegu pieces to show you the shades of green and natural. Note that natural pieces are also slightly greenish in this set. The green cubes and planks are painted, but the structure of the wood is clearly visible, so not a single piece is the same. The impression of this tree-green variety is pleasant. Probably, the details were first painted over and then glued. Both the planks and the cubes consist of 2 halves, and on some cubes the gluing borders are visible.

Chuntian Interlocking Building Blocks

Waffle blocks like this Chuntian Interlocking building blocks set are popular building toys. They are flat and have matching pegs on their sides. You can assemble these pieces in 2D and 3D shapes, and in different positions.
Pieces of this set have an unusually big number of pegs on them – far more than pieces of Gakken and Plus Plus. The pieces have wall patterns, windows, round openings, and other similar decorations. Some panels have the same shape, but no decoration at all. The basic models the set offers are houses and castles. However, you can build anything else from these interlocking squares and triangles. These triangular pieces are in fact less common in waffle block sets. Gakken sets, for example, severely lack them. On the other hand, this set doesn’t have arches and other similar pieces, which somewhat limits the building possibilities. The houses are the things these waffle blocks make best, and, sadly, there are no options for, say, cars with moving wheels.
This particular set has pieces that are 2 inches wide, so they are safe for small children to play with. These pieces are easy to hold and too big to swallow, so the manufacturer recommends them for kids who are 3 years or older.
