It's me, Duckling
I'm so excited to start this journey with you!
I'm a proud member of the WoodFormers family. I'm made of wood, so I'm a natural fit for Wood, and I'm as versatile as the rest of my family, thanks to the attached Klik-Klap snaps. They make it easy to connect my pieces in all sorts of fun new ways.
This is what I look like when I'm taken apart, fresh out of the box, if I'm wearing "Inca" snap fasteners ;o)
And here I am in my little house, how can I come to your house, in "army" color Klik-Klap snaps ;o)
I'll air out all your senses
WOOD FORMERS ®
wooden construction set with snaps,
for girls and boys ;o)
one of my brothers, Lizard
... just replace a few parts ...
Not only when you swap pieces, but just by not using some or turning others, my brother and I can instantly turn into a car, truck, dog, or train with a smokestack... My brother's pieces, Lizard, look like this, with "arctic" Klik-Klap snaps ;o)
How do we work?
Assembling with the strength of your fingers
Each of my pieces has one or more cleverly placed Klik-Klap snaps attached to it. These are the cool metal pieces that are firmly screwed to me. And it is the Klik-Klap snaps that allow me to make new and new things. A Klik-Klap snap fastener has two different halves. You have to connect these two different pieces, because you can't persuade the same ones to connect. All you need is the strength of your fingers, ingenuity, and imagination.
Disassembly by breaking
Disassembling me is even easier, just break me apart, like a roll, and the snap fasteners will come apart, which is especially fun for the little ones ;o) You can start something completely new right away.
Rotating connected pieces
And I have one more feature: all my individual connections can also be rotated, which makes me irresistible.
Unlimited imagination
Show off your new creation to your mom, dad, or teacher. You can take me to them in one piece or in parts, which you can quickly reconnect ;o)
4 stylish colors of Klik-Klap snaps
My pure, all-natural wooden body is decorated with Klik-Klap snaps in four different colors. There is only one color in each box, but you can mix and match us between boxes as you like, we go well together ;o) So, as they say, color doesn't matter when it comes to functionality, it's all about your aesthetic eye...
- INCA - at the beginning nicely shiny copper with gradual slight patina
- ARCTIC - hiny silver with gradual slight graying
- ARMY - dark patina with a hint of brass
- SAFARI - dark patina with a hint of copper
2 types of snap strength
and we have all this in two different snap strengths for Klik-Klap snaps, for better rotation or larger builders. All of this, the snap strength and colors, work together, and the pieces can be mixed and matched as you like, allowing you to take advantage of all their great features.
- ROTO - has a lighter press and the individual joints rotate more easily, which also means they break more easily. This makes it suitable for even the youngest builders or when more flexible joints are needed
- CONSTRUCT - these fasteners require a little more pressure when connecting; as with the ROTO type, you can help by pressing your hands against the floor or table; preschoolers, older children, and adults usually have no problem with them ;o)
Just mix me and my brothers and sisters however you like!
You can find all this on the box or in our e-shop, as my variants, when you choose me ;o)
Don't worry, all the Klik-Klap snaps are already firmly screwed onto our pieces, all you have to do is connect them with your imagination for fun ;o)
Who am I intended for?
Our family is certified for children aged 3 and up. I entertain preschoolers and after-school club children, as well as those in clubs and play areas. Small play areas in doctors' waiting rooms, restaurants, and shopping malls. I can easily charm their moms and dads, and even their grandpas and grandmas ;o)
So far, I am only a toy for children aged three and above. I have a few small parts inside me. These could get stuck in a toddler's mouth or even throat if they mistake me for something tasty. But I already have a version for the little ones in mind ;o)
I am a great toy for all children aged three and up. Thanks to your imagination, I can turn into a car, a robot, a ship, an airplane, but also a giraffe, a dog, a cat, a doll... there are so many possibilities. Whether you are a girl or a boy, you will find something to suit you. You will need more of my pieces to really get going.
Preschoolers and new schoolchildren will enjoy me the most, whether they are still in preschool, after-school care, or the classroom playroom, but also at home ;o)
They like to help their younger siblings with building or dismantling, and often get involved in the building themselves ;o)
Parents are often fascinated by my possibilities when playing with me, so moms and dads enjoy playing with me just as much as their children do.
For granddaughters and grandsons? Sure, a pair of socks, a book to read, and a WoodFormers building set are a must. And what about the upper age limit? You'll be surprised to learn that I'm already in a few retirement homes, and I'm just as popular there as I am in kindergartens ;o)
What will you find inside me?
Or rather, what am I made of? ;o)
Wood, wood, wood
I am born only from dried Czech beech wood, which is mechanically processed by planing, cutting, sanding, and occasionally even roughing. Gradually, all sharp edges are removed. At the end, I get a cool burned mark to show that I'm the real deal. I'm made from a solid piece of wood, so I'm wooden to the core.
I am naked and I am not ashamed of it
Thanks to the amazing properties of beech wood, I don't need any additional protection – I am a naked and completely natural toy. Even if you play with me for a long time, I remain the same. No signs of wear, chipping, water stains, or grease from your fingers. That's why I'm still pleasant to look at and touch, naturally wooden. What's more, nature itself is my graphic designer—who else could give me so many beautiful variations?
Metal
I have metal Klik-Klap snaps and special screws, which are used to attach them to me. The basis of the Klik-Klap snaps is a brass molded part, which is plated in four amazing colors, made to order, so that I can become a full-time celebrity among toys. The color of the Klik-Klap snaps is just an aesthetic feature for me. The screws are steel with a coating and a secure TORX groove, which allows for high-quality tightening on the workbench at the factory and future repairs. You will get me fully screwed together.
WoodFormers as a polytechnic construction kit
or engaging all the senses
- sight – I am naturally beautiful to look at, my graphic designer is nature itself
- smell – I smell like wood, both during production and afterwards
- taste – I am not edible, but I taste as I look and smell
- touch – I am a piece of material, I weigh something and feel warm to the touch
- hearing – my Klik-Klap snaps rattle and click nicely...
- ... and the 6th sense as a bonus ... ;o)
Versatility is my nick name, which is how I got my Latin family name Polys functionalis ludibrium, or multifunctional toy, or in my case, multifunctional wooden building set. Others also classify me in the second development chain, Polys technica ludibrium, or polytechnic toy. All it takes is a different angle, a slight twist of the joint, one or two clicks, and I am something completely new.
And what's more? Play with me and you will find out how easily I calm you down and your distraction is gone. You will start to focus only on where to add the next piece, or how to rebuild and rotate me even better, what new thing to create. By connecting my pieces, you also train the motor skills of your nimble fingers and gain strength in them, which helps their blood circulation and improves their sensitivity for finer work, such as holding a pencil or pen.
I work without magnets and electricity from batteries or the mains
no magnets
no batteries
How much can you build from me?
I start at 81 and end up with over 13,000 possibilities, but by combining two or more kits, the possibilities are endless ;o) or
Size matters
I'm fun to play with even with just two pieces, I can calm your nerves, so people sometimes use me as a stress reliever. I show my strength with about ten pieces. If there are forty of them, like robbers in a cave, I start to show my horns, and what will happen when there are a dozen of them?
Small sets, or let's get started
I myself belong to a family of nine WoodFormers Mini Sets. Each of us works perfectly well on its own, but we like it even better when we're together. We have around ten pieces, usually one large piece, four wheels, and then a mix of other pieces. Our possibilities are already extensive. We can be rearranged into 80 to 230 possibilities in each individual box. At this size, we are a suitable small gift for children and for traveling.
Large boxes for demanding customers
Then I have older siblings, three large sets in total, with countless possibilities. After all, who could possibly build all those thousands of things? Would you dare? And add to that the fact that a different angle can further tickle your imagination, not to mention when you turn my leg, lift my arm in my Klik-Klap joints. Basic Set I has more than 3,000, Basic Set II more than 6,000, and ComboBox even more than 13,000 different connections.
With me, you can only win!
Children will have a great time playing with wooden toys, using their imagination and practicing their fine motor skills.
I'm just a slightly different wooden construction set, I smell a little, I click a little, I warm a little, I taste a little, I'm nice to look at, and I can even be repaired. What other toy can say that about itself today? I'm also quite mischievous, tempting all generations to play, which I have witnessed many times in my short life. I captivate parents and children alike. When they play with me, they forget about time, which begins to flow unnoticed around them. That's when I'm in seventh heaven.
And where am I made?
In the foothills of Karlstejn castle, Czechia.
I am a piece of honest Czech work, from the felling of trees, through their processing at the sawmill, drying, and then cutting into pieces by the carpenter. In between, I am pressed with screws here and there and Klik-Klap snaps, which I have dressed in different colors. Finally, everything comes together in the foothills of Karlštejn Castle. There, with their characteristic love and care, they put me together, test me, and prepare me in an attractive natural box with a window so that I can look around on my way to you, see where I am traveling to, and where I will now call "home".
Quality wherever you look
I am a construction kit that has passed through many hands during production. Each of my pieces undergoes several strict checks at each stage of production. And my materials are Czech and first-class – metal and beech wood.
If you want me in your wonderful facility, where children are everywhere, no problem. I am perfect for these places. Thanks to my properties, I am not a one-sided construction kit, I am simply a full-time polytechnic toy. I can sell myself not only online but also on invoice ;o)
Are you a direct seller to nurseries, do you own a small local shop, do you run your own e-shop, and would you like to include all or part of my natural wooden family in your product range? We can definitely come to an agreement. I would love to meet new friends and enrich your wonderful product range.
If you would like to include me in your range in your chain or wholesale offer, please bear in mind that I am a small-batch, hand-made construction kit from the Czech Republic, so my price is not comparable to that of an imported Asian product. But we are open to any negotiations, and maybe we will find common ground with you ;o)
Do you like me and want to give me as a great gift? I would be very happy to bring joy to your home. You can purchase us directly from our home e-shop.
Do you organize your own trade fair, market, or sales event? I would be happy to be invited to yours, where I can be just a children's corner with the possibility of building or fitting into the range of products on offer. I am quite busy from October to January, but sometimes I can split myself in two so that I can visit new places. I also like to return to old places, where I meet not only familiar faces, but also completely new little ones. I am delighted to see them return a little bigger a year later and play with me again.
and our motto
“For children and for grown‑ups too,
we craft our toys with joy in view.
So every heart — both young and old —
can lose track of time as stories unfold.
And all those moments shared in play
will live in your hearts and never fade away.”
