Cardtivity is a children’s construction set not made out of building blocks (Legos) or inter-connecting tubes (TubeLox) but plastic cards. (Each card is 3 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches.) The inventor of Cardtivity, Steve Beckman of Randolph, New Jersey, is pitching his toy on The Toy Box on April 28.
There are currently four Cardtivity building sets available online. Each comes with step-by-step instructions on how to build the model. Recommended for kids 7 and up.
