Stick-Figure Construction
Build-Your-Own Dolls:
In the same way that Legos allow a child to build things like
houses and cars, this toy would allow a child to build stick-
figure dolls - people, pets, and anything else they can figure
out how to build using a system of sticks and metal balls as
joints. It would ideally be made of metal, with magnets in the
ends of the sticks, so that a child playing with it can put the
toy together any way they please, though if this turns out to
be too dangerous or expense, Velcro is a good alternative, though
somewhat less flexible.
