Pythagoras Mouse House

A house we made for the favourite plush mice from openwork Pythagoras pieces. There is a door on the other side, but the brown mouse tries to crawl through the wall.

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.

Pythagoras – magnetic construction set from Japan

Pythagoras is a magnetic construction set from Japan. It features colorful plastic blocks with magnets. It is a simple and charming construction set designed for young children. One of the sets from Pythagoras that impressed me the most was the arches. Now, construction set from the same company are available on Amazon. The components are very similar – basic cubes, blocks, arches, prisms, and cylinders.

Pythagoras Cube City

Along with the solid panels, Pythagoras has openwork sets like this one. The pieces look light and hollow, but their connection principle is exactly the same. We made each cube from these polygons, and then a whole Pythagoras city.

Futuristic Project

You’ll never guess what it is. It’s a Pythagoras high rise building! Apparently, a project of the future (the children explained to me in detail where the elevator goes, and what special compartments of different shapes the building has). The high rise is made from a big Pythagoras set.
