A block-forming toy includes a plunger, a mold and an ejector plate. The plunger includes a shaft that passes through a barrel. The two pieces are able to move with respect to one another. Each piece connects to either the mold or the ejector plate, using male and female locking mechanisms. Subsequent to assembling the toy, the mold may be filled and packed with a mouldable material. By pulling the plunger up to move the mold upwards relative to the ejector plate, and thus relative to the casted article, the block-forming toy may be used to easily remove the formed block of mouldable material from the mold. A variety of mold shapes may be used to create additional blocks to form structures of mouldable material. Examples of mouldable material include sand and snow. |
