Now you can build fully-functioning furniture with these giant LEGO-inspired bricks


I bet your child's room could use a little bit of color. Why not build a study table or a toy chest made of LEGO bricks? Sounds fun, huh? But in reality, creating fully-functioning furniture out of those plastic construction toys can be challenging. The bricks are too small, and sometimes they're a bit annoying to use especially if you're dealing with large-scale creations.

But now thanks to EverBlock, there's no need to tediously stack thousands of bricks together to construct modular furniture. The oversized, LEGO-inspired blocks can be turned into tables, chairs, room dividers, and even shelters, using just a few pieces. Made of polypropylene, EverBlocks are specially designed to be easily stackable, allowing DIYers to build an endless range of furniture options.

"Each module is designed to connect easily with the parts above and below, using a pressure fit which creates a strong link between blocks." says EverBlock. "Anything you've constructed can be taken apart and re-assembled again, and the pieces can be re-used to build other objects, making EverBlock a unique green building method."

The New York-based company currently offers three types of blocks in an array of colors. There's a full-size 12 x 6 inches block, a half-size 6 x 6 inches block, and a 3 x 6 inches quarter-block. Users can also add cap pieces to give a bit of polish to their constructions. You can buy them separately or in bulk, with prices starting around $5 per piece.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These peg dolls would make a cool nursery decoration for Trekkies

I'm so dad of a little girl. Look at me posting about toys and kids apps more frequently now. Anyway, I really love this Star Trek Enterprise plaything. It's made of 100% wood and features characters from The Next Generation . It's smooth, built to last, and perfect for little hands. I'm not just sure if it's still available for purchase on Etsy.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
