<p>A construction toy is disclosed which comprises a substantially planar, integral blank (10) having a number of panels (11,12,13,14,15). Each panel is connected to an adjacent panel by a line of weakness which allows the panel to be moved relative to the adjacent panel through plastic deformation of the blank along the line of weakness. In this way, a predetermined three-dimensional article can be constructed from the blank, the article retaining its shape once constructed. The blank may include rigidity-enhancing features, such as tabs (16,17) which engage in slots (21,22), or such as slots (23,24) on free edges of one or more panels which engage in corresponding slots (25,26) on one or more other panels in the constructed article. A construction toy kit is also disclosed, which comprises two or more blanks as described above, the articles formed from these blanks being combinable to form a further three-dimensional article. <IMAGE></p> |
