Description
In the world of construction and craft kits, there's not always a lot of room for "edgy and artsy." Described as "the love child of Lego and origami," I couldn't agree more, but these vibrant building sets have a few tricks up their sleeve! For one, no glue or scissors are required. To build each kit, there are 3 simple steps to follow. First, punch out and fold each geometric piece, inserting the numbered tabs into the corresponding side. Next, arrange the pieces how you want them to be built, apply the "glue dots" to the corners of each piece, and stick them together. Finally, decorate them any way you want with the included stickers, and start playing! (Kids can also skip the suggested shape and make their own!) The emphasis of these kits is clearly on art and play - the final product is surprisingly stable - but kids will develop a cursory understanding of geometry by folding 2D cutouts into recognizable 3D shapes. Kits are fully recyclable and come in a reusable paper folder.
