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.
