BUILDING COMPONENTS AND BUILDING SET
A building component for building structures, the building component configured to be releasable connectable to a second conjugate building component. The building component comprises a frame being a section of a basic geometrical shape. The frame having at least one side; the side having at least a protrusion. The conjugate building component being of the same structure also has a frame having at least one conjugate side; the conjugate side having at least a corresponding conjugate receptacle. When the building component and the conjugate building component are connected the sides of building components are next to each other. The protrusion and receptacle of the components snugly engage each other so that the inner and outer surfaces of the protrusion and receptacle are in contact with each other. The friction between the surfaces prevents the disconnecting of the components.

KIT WITH PLURALITY OF BLOCKS FOR CONSTRUCTING CRAFT
In an aspect, a kit is provided for constructing a craft, and includes a plurality of blocks. Each block has a main body having an exterior surface that is made from a material that is adherent when exposed to water so as to permit the blocks to adhere to one another. Each block further includes a top surface and a block projection extending from the top surface. Each block further includes a bottom aperture extending into the main body towards the top surface, and defining a longitudinal axis. The bottom aperture includes a first aperture region that is shaped to receive the block projection of the second block of the plurality of blocks. The bottom aperture includes a second aperture region that is shaped to receive a distal portion of a block tray projection on a block tray.
KIT FOR CONSTRUCTING CRAFT USING PLURALITY OF BLOCKS AND STORAGE CONTAINER FOR SAME
In an aspect, a kit is provided for constructing a craft from a plurality of blocks. Each block has an exterior surface that is made from a material that is adherent when exposed to water so as to permit the blocks to adhere to one another. A block tray supports the plurality of blocks. The kit includes a water dispenser for dispensing water and a storage container. The storage container includes a lower housing member that contains at least one block storage compartment for holding the blocks, and a cover to mount at least indirectly to the lower housing member. The cover is openable, and is sized to fit over the block tray while the block tray holds the blocks. The cover further includes an opening that is sized to permit, during use, a user to dispense water onto the plurality of blocks on the block tray.

SPLICING STRUCTURE
The present application discloses a splicing structure that can be broadly apply to toy, tool, furniture, handicrafts, jewelry or other fields. The splicing structure comprises a splicing block capable to detachably spliced with one another, said splicing block comprises a splicing hole and a splicing column. The splicing structure also comprises a plug piece having an insertion rod, said insertion rod having protrusions along its periphery; a receptacle having an insertion hole, wherein outer diameter of the protrusions, inner diameter of the insertion hole and outer diameter of the insertion rod decrease. The plug piece is mounted between the splicing column and the splicing hole, said receptacle is mounted within inner hole of the splicing column; when two splicing blocks are spliced through inserting a second splicing block into a first splicing block, insertion rod of the first splicing block is inserted into the insertion hole of the second splicing block by interference fit and the two splicing blocks are firmly spliced together by snap fit connection between the protrusions of the first splicing block and the insertion hole of the second splicing block.
