I'm in the process of designing a toy and would love to know what you think of it

I'm a mum to two girls, and I've designed a toy, which I've called Bildy, that encourages both imaginative & construction play. It basically consists of a set of interchangeable panels and connectors that hold the panels together. You can build lots of things from the same set such as a fort, castle, playhouse, car and lots of other possibilities. It's simple to put up and take down, and importantly for me to pack away when they've finished! I've only got it to prototype stage at the moment but would love other mums opinions of what they think of it - is it something you would buy? I'm planning on having a few different sized sets available which will enable you to build bigger dens and maybe a smaller version for older kids too

Looks like a good idea at this stage of design

I agree with the climbing on comments.

In regard to the blackboard/pattern/whiteboard...could you have one side of the panel patterned and the opposite side blackboard or whiteboard so the child can mix or chose?

Have you looked at cost/ production costs?
