Another craft with Playmobil figurines and everything else from K’Nex. They go along surprisingly well.
The town from above…
Same small magnetic town from another angle. Half of the pieces are solid tiles, and another half are frames.
Inside The Castle Tower
Inside the castle tower. Made from Geomag castle sets.
MAGNA-TILES House Set
Another magnetic tiles set from Magna-Tiles with an interesting tweak. It focuses on house theme, and includes stairs, a door piece and reusable stickers. The tiles of this set also include both common and unusual shapes to make houses look more realistic.
K’NEX Carousel
A small K’Nex carousel we made for Playmobil figurines.
Magformers Smart Set
This is one of the largest Magformers sets. It has some less common pieces and accessories, like pentagons or “super squares”, and you can build something very big using this set alone. It can become a great gift for someone who loves Magformers.
Magnetic Mine Magnet Frozen World Set
Another building set by Toylogy brand. This one focuses on winter landscapes and textures. You can use all cubes from this manufacturer together.
Tiko Christmas Tree
Christmas tree the kids made from Tiko. I would never guessed that it is if they haven’t told me. It’s a very futuristic tree.
Pythagoras, Tiko, and Tako are vintage building sets. They have big panels of different colors and shapes, that connect by the edges. Each piece has sockets and balls that can snap together, connecting the pieces. You can also connect the pieces of different shapes, as long as their sides match. This connection is strong enough to hold even the biggest structures together.
Because of the sockets’ form, Pythagoras and Tiko panels can form both flat surfaces and 3D shapes. The flexible joint connection means that you can connect the pieces at different angles. The bigger panels are huge – they are a few inches long, so kids can create toy hats or items to hold, and not just toys. They are sturdy enough to wear and to play with. There also are smaller pieces that can help connect the bigger pannels together or make smaller crafts. The pieces of this set have all kinds of shapes – there are different triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, and so on, all in different colors.
Sadly, Amazon seemingly has no sets exactly like Tiko and Pythagoras, but some very similar concepts also are interesting enough.
Christmas Tree
An attempt to build a Christmas tree in May. There are gears on 3 sides, and they all spin at the same time.
Smartmax – 2 Slides
A structure for lowering cars from slides can be called a parking lot, or, anything else. For example, a garage 🙂 A 2-year-old child plays with it simply – he puts cars on and slides them down. Between the slides, the girls arranged a gazebo – I don’t know what the cars may need it for. But their brother didn’t mind, he even decorated it with a flower. The roof in the gazebo was made of curved rods. This was before the opening of another SmartMax set – Flower Palace, which has full hipped roofs.
