construction set

Interlocking pieces kit

A construction set is a toy consisting of standardized parts—blocks, beams, connectors, gears—that can be assembled into various structures or machines.

Classic examples include Lego, Erector sets, and Lincoln Logs.

The appeal lies in open-ended building: the same pieces make a house today and a spaceship tomorrow.
