An activity from Pythagoras booklet shows how many triangles you need to make bigger ones.

Geomag My Castle – Large Set – 163 Pieces
2 sides of the box. With one set, you can build a corner of the fortress yard, a watchtower, an outpost, a modest castle of a poor vassal, or the ruins of a medieval fortress. 2 sets give you more options for building and let you feel like an advanced medieval architect, embodying the most daring architectural solutions.
Zoob 500-Piece Set
Zoob 500-piece set is a classic Zoob set in all possible ways. It has those typical Zoob pieces with balls and sockets, but no extra pieces. This is a great set if you are interested in Zoob building. It’s more than enough for big and complex crafts.
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.
Melissa & Doug Matching Picture Game – Contents
This set has 2 double-sided scene cards, 4 double-sided cards with suggestion pictures, 119 wooden magnetic pieces, and a wooden case. You can install the scene cards and assemble the pictures on its lid.
Obedient Slippers
Slippers were also involved in the building process. They got cute ponytails and became “alive”. The diameter of the holes in plastic slippers just matched the Kid K”nex parts.
Rainbow Toyfrog Interlocking Gears
These interlocking gears by Rainbow Toyfrog are a version of a popular type of building set. The gears in this one are not rotating on top of some structure – they are the basic building blocks of the set. The gears connect if you interlock the pins, or if you stack them. With these simple connections, you can build different shapes and mosaics. This set includes 100 pieces in 10 different colors.
All the gears have the same shape and size, the only difference is the color. However, there are still many possibilities to build, especially if you have many pieces. The gears can also interlock if you connect them at an angle. Sadly, the possibilities to build a moving toy are very limited, because the gears can’t really move once they connect. The only movement these gears are capable of after assembly is slight rotation, and it’s only possible if you connect them axis-to-axis. There are also no extra pieces or decorations, so the gears are the only things you have to work with.
The gears themselves are rather big, they are safe for the small children to play with. They also can hold together even in a very big craft without falling apart.
Clixo Grab & Go Set – Contents
Clixo smallest set has the pieces of the same shapes the bigger sets have, so even with set only, you can build many figures and toys.
