Half puzzle, half model kit — this 3-D building toy by Dutch design company Kidsonroof is designed for imaginative play.
With unique die-cut panels made from recycled laminated cardboard, the Totem Boys Recyled Construction Toy is made of 120 cards that feature cool signs, symbols, textures and images. 
The pieces can become whatever your child can imagine — a creation of their own, or a spaceship, airplane, building, or sailing ship that they can build with the included instructions.
The variety of boy-friendly designs, creates unusual mixes and patterns and makes this toy super cool for any young builder, six years or older.
I am so impressed with this creative toy. The sturdy cardboard pieces with their almost-odd designs are unlike anything I have ever seen. I bet every boy who opens it up on Christmas morning will say, “Cool – this is awesome!”
The Chocolate Cake Club – a mom-owned store that specializes in collecting top quality parenting tools and unique gifts – is featuring this innovative toy in their Holiday Gift Guide.
