BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Children have been playing with toys since times immemorial. Most children enjoy playing with dolls, toy cars, and soft toys. Even though playing with such toys seem to be fun, yet, such toys often fail to boost creativity skills and intelligence level of the kids. Instead, children often end up wasting time while playing with such toys. There are toys designed especially for boosting the creativity skills of children. Such toys may include Lego bricks and building blocks. Children play with Lego bricks and building blocks to build toy houses and compartments according to their imagination. While playing with Lego bricks and building blocks may be fun and imaginative for kids, yet, such toys are often composed of toxic materials which is harmful for kids. Moreover, bricks and building blocks are of hard material and can often cause injury to the kids if not handled with care. Hence, there is a need for toys but of non-toxic and soft material that can not only entertain kids for hours but also boost their creativity and imaginative skills.
[0004] To address these limitations, the present invention provides a three-dimensional (3D) constructible movable articulatable object that constitutes a plurality of connectable foam-based components and non-foam-based components to be plugged into one another at a plurality of points of articulation on the object for assembling and disassembling the object and enabling movement of the object.
