The sets
Three sets. Each one printed after you order it.
The whole catalogue has the building sets, the sorting and counting work, and the dinosaurs.
Every set ships in Full, Natural or Monochrome. The colour is yours to pick, and the natural set is the same object at the same price band. Choose it because you love it, not because it costs less.
Every set: PLA, uncoloured or pigmented. Drop tested at 1.4 m onto oak, 20 drops, no fracture. Printed on a hardened steel nozzle.

Quoted per set, from your answers
Every set is built around the colour world you pick.
Each set is printed after you order it, in the world you picked, at the piece count you asked for. Want twelve arches instead of six? You get twelve. Tell us your child's age and the room the set will live in, and we quote it from there. How to order is the whole of that in four answers, and none of them need looking up.
Printed on a hardened steel nozzle rather than brass. Edges are chamfered on the machine, not sanded afterwards, so every copy of a piece has the same edge.
If a set is flying home in somebody's luggage, a gift out of Armenia is about the three thousand four hundred year old wagon with seventy parts that all of this is arguing with, and about which set actually fits in a case.
The library · free, and the bigger half of this site
Thirty-five activities. No adverts, no affiliate links, nothing to sign up for.
Instructions first, argument underneath, because you came here for something to do. Readable on a phone, one handed, with a child already complaining, and you can start inside eight seconds.
What the first screen of an activity page looks like
Posting and Slotting
Your child drops a disc through a slot cut in a lid, hears it land, opens the box and does it again.

Activity KG-A014 · the same six facts, in the same order, on every one
The format
Four zones, in this order, and the order is the design.
Decide in eight seconds
The name, one sentence on what your child actually does, then the six facts. The photograph sits underneath, never taller than 42 percent of your screen, so it cannot push the facts you came for out of sight.
Run it once
Materials with substitutes on the same line, so you never have to shop. Numbered setup steps, verb first, six at most. The exact words to say when you hand it over, and the two not to say. Then a print button, because these end up on fridges.
Know it worked
What to expect at each age in the range. What to do when he tips the tray on the floor. When to stop, and the good news that stopping while it is still going well is exactly right.
Where to go next
The ladder, the activities either side of it, the shelves it sits on. One of our sets is named on seven of the thirty-five activity pages, and every one of those says plainly that the household version works. On the other twenty-eight there is nothing at all to buy.
Guidance and safety
Read before you buy
Recommended for ages 3 and up. Every piece in every set is larger than the small-parts cylinder in its shortest dimension, and the measurement is on the card above. A printed part dropped hard enough splits along its layer lines rather than crumbling, and the fragment is rigid. Check a set over before handing it to a child under 3, and retire any piece with a crack in it.
Test reports are documents, not badges. Ask and we will send the drop-test and pull-apart records for your set, with the dates they were run.
