It is the dream of many people to one day self build and construct their own home. Now you can experience the satisfaction (on a smaller scale!) with the Teifoc Universal Brick Kit.

There are plans and drawings for five different buildings which can be constructed using the real clay bricks, tiles and cement contained in the pack. Also in the kit are two boards to build the models on, tough plastic windows and doors, wooden roof bases and even a little bowl and trowel. Simply follow the plans and before too long you will have a little house, which is also surprisingly strong, to admire.

Even better, the mortar is completely soluble in water. So when you feel the urge to build again, simply plonk the building in water for a couple of hours. The cement dissolves and your bricks are ready for use again.

This is one of those toys that suits all ages and encourages and develops many skills. It will entertain and educate and lasts forever.

And for those who have some design skills and a little imagination, why not try building a scale model of your own house. If it doesn't work out, dissolve the cement and try again!

Extra mortar, is also available separately.
