Toy question

[Amina516]

I have googled and googled to no avail.

Does ANYONE know WTF the fake wood stuff for kids is called? They show it on TV, and its almost like a foam, they can saw through and nail. But its kid friendly. I think the commercial shows a ship they put together or something.

Anyone? Ill love you forever!

It's referred to as Kid Wood (which... I would not suggest putting into google on its own) and the toy kits for it are all titled Real Construction. Made by Jakks. Seems to be hard to find online since it's so new, you'd be better off buying it through the TV adds probably.

Edit: I do see mentions online that some Sam's Club locations may have it.

No, the stuff I posted is some sort of foam that just looks like balsa.

Never heard of it but it sounds neat.

At the Eye of the Bull where I work, we have it. It's usually near I guess the toy trucks and trains, since that's more 'craft-ish'. Not sure if it's just our location though, but when I was zoning I thought of this post.
