Various toy building blocks, various connecting members and a variety of panels which combine to form a unique system for the creative enjoyment of children of all ages. Various patterns for the blocks would be formed out of a substantially flat semi-rigid material having a uniform thickness. These patterns would be folded by the end user, using fold lines incorporated into the patterns, so as to form blocks. These would include the basic cube and longer blocks that would be some multiple of the basic cube. Also included would be five sided blocks which are one half the size of a basic cube. All of the blocks would have slots at uniformly spaced points which would allow the insertion of connecting pieces which would be formed of a resilient, and therefore slightly compressible, material. These connectors would be slightly thicker than the width of the slots. This would allow for a tight fit which, based on friction, would hold the various blocks together. The blocks would be shipped and distributed in their flat condition and assembled into the three dimensional shapes by the end user. The blocks could be unfolded for storage when not in use. One advantage of the system is that it would allow children to express their creativity on a large scale while eliminating the danger associated with solid, and therefore heavier, blocks of a similar size. The system would allow children of all ages to enjoy many hours of creative fun.
