Watch the way kids react when they lay eyes on a YOXO building set and the excitement is palpable. Fyre, a new 61 piece building toy from YOXO certainly has that effect. The ease and snugness with which the distinctive Y-, O-, and X-shaped pieces (hence the name, pronounced 'yock-so') fit together opens wide the door to creativity. There are other components as well, some bearing vivid colors and dramatic illustrations that intensify the itch to build something fierce or wild. And Fyre doesn't disappoint. The step-by-step instructions show how to build 4 surprisingly different toys - Fyre, a 3 foot long dragon, Scorch, a speedway ready vehicle with dual fiery exhausts, Orbit, a rocket for the ages, and Ribbit, a frog-ish creature like no other. YOXO kits are made from recycled materials and their links connect with household materials (paper towel rolls, cereal boxes, etc.) and other building toy sets, making for unstoppable open-ended play.
