A construction toy is disclosed. The construction toy comprises at least one prismatic or cylindrical housing with a closed end and an open end, with two or more connection means located on an external surface between the open end and closed end. The construction toy may further comprise an ornamental component, stickers, a motion activated illumination arrangement resulting in numerous modes of play of the construction toy. Multiple housings of the construction toy act as building blocks. The construction toy acts as a means to collect, display and store numerous ornamental components. The construction toy can be customised with stickers which can be revealed and hidden using a motion activated illumination arrangement comprising an infrared sensor and UV light.

A transformable modular toy element is provided. The transformable modular toy element is for use in a toy construction system comprising a plurality of modular toy elements. The transformable modular toy element comprises a body portion and a head portion. The body portion comprises one or more coupling members, the one or more coupling members being adapted for releasably coupling the body portion with modular toy elements of the toy construction system. The head portion is attached to the body portion. The head portion comprises a cavity for receiving the body portion therein. The body portion is moveable with respect to the head portion between a retracted position where the body portion is retracted into the cavity, whereby the transformable modular toy element has a first shape, and a deployed position where the body portion is in the axial direction deployed from the cavity, whereby the transformable modular toy element has a second shape. The transformable modular toy element further comprises first locking means adapted to lock the body portion in the deployed position.

A marble toy kit includes building blocks and base platforms. Each building block includes a block base, formed of a single piece of plastic, that has four sides interconnected to form a tubular member having a square cross-section and having an interior. At least one side has an opening sized to receive a toy marble. The top of each building block has a base portion and a connection boss extending from the base portion. The connection boss and base portion have a second opening sized to receive a toy marble. The boss is configured to engage and fit within the open bottom of another block base having the same structure. At least one base platform includes a plurality of pedestals extending from a top surface. Each pedestal fits within the open-bottom of the block base of a building block to attach the block base to the base platform.

The invention relates to the field of toys, including children's construction sets, and can be used during the production of elements of children's construction kits for making three-dimensional models. The present construction set element is a convex body and is provided with studs on its upper part, main grooves on its lower part, additional grooves on its side faces, and a locking button. The element is made from a contoured blank having uniform thickness of the surface formed from a pulp based on a fibrous substance. The universality of a construction set element and the combination possibilities of the elements are increased, the coupling efficiency of the construction set elements with one another is increased, and the technique for manufacturing the element is simplified.

A modular flooring system comprises a modular floor surface and a plurality of stackable, three-dimensional modular interior design components (MIDCs). The modular door surface can comprise an array of discrete, raised, low-profile, receiving panels that can be rectangular in shape. MIDCs can be securely and interchangeably placed on any group of one or more adjacent unoccupied receiving panel and they east also be stackable, such that various different floor layouts can be created. Bach of the MIDCs may comprise a lower surface recess that fits over a group of one or more adjacent raised receiving panels. A first MIDC may have an raised lip on a top surface such that the lower surface recess of a second MIDC fits over, separately and interchangeably, one (or more) of the raised receiving panels and the raised lip on the top surface of the first MIDC. The MIDCs can comprise a storage cube MIDC (square or rectangular cube) as well as specialized MIDCs, such as a commode MIDC, a sink MIDC, a cooler MIDC, and a tile MIDC, etc. In such a manner, a user of the modular flooring system could locate the MIDCs on the floor surface and/or stack them to configure a preferred layout. Moreover, the MIDCs could be rearranged later to design a new layout.

In order to provide a composite object that can be produced at high quality and low cost using a 3D printer, a composite object includes: a first object obtained by assembling one or at least two assemblable toy blocks; and a second object constituted by one or at least two parts produced through 3D printing, and configured to be attached to the first object so as to cover at least a portion except for part of a surface thereof. Accordingly, it is possible to produce an object at high quality and low cost using a 3D printer.

A toy construction element is disclosed having a body with at least one projection extending therefrom and a plurality of complementary-shaped recesses formed therein. The recesses extend along at least two different axes and are configured for receiving a corresponding projection from like elements so as to allow like construction elements to be interconnected in three dimensions. The projections and/or recesses may be formed with snap-fit interlocking features whereby the element is configured for interlocking engagement with like elements. The snap-fit interlocking features can include complementary locking formations formed on each projection and each recess. The formations are configured to pass over each other as the projection of one element is received in the recess of another element when like elements are assembled, and the recess is at least in part defined by a resilient component that flexes to resist passage of the formations during assembly and disassembly.

According to some embodiments, a first toy body comprises a first level oriented in a first direction, and a second level oriented in a second direction. A second toy body comprises a third level oriented in the first direction, and a fourth level oriented in the second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
