Tinkertoy

Tinkertoys are like building blocks, but they're made of pieces that can connect together in lots of different ways. Imagine having a set of straws and some connectors that can fit on the ends of the straws to connect them together.

Tinkertoys work the same way. You have a bunch of little wooden or plastic sticks that have different shapes on each end. Some may be straight, while others may have a bend or a curve to them. You also have connectors in different shapes and sizes that snap onto the ends of the sticks.

With tinkertoys, you can build all kinds of things. You can connect sticks together to make a tower or a bridge. Or you can connect sticks and connectors to create a shape like a star or a flower.

The fun part about tinkertoys is that you can take your creation apart and rebuild it into something else. You can also add more sticks and connectors to make your creation bigger and more complex.

Tinkertoys help develop your problem-solving skills and your creativity. You can try different combinations of sticks and connectors to see what works best and what looks the coolest. And, of course, playing with tinkertoys is lots of fun!
