construction sets

Snap-together model kits

Construction sets are toys consisting of standardized components—blocks, beams, connectors, gears—designed to be assembled into structures or machines.

The category includes wooden blocks, Lego bricks, Erector sets, and countless variations.

The appeal lies in open-ended building: the same pieces can become a house, a spaceship, or something never imagined by the manufacturer.
