Therefore, although a lot of toys for the development of children's cognitive abilities and emotions have been released on the market, a prefabricated toy that is fitted to itself more than a well-made toys is beneficial to the physical development such as cognitive development of children or hand movements.

For example, clay play and prefabricated block play are typical examples of play that can develop children's cognitive ability.

First, clay play can develop cognitive ability in that children can freely make a desired shape using their hands.

However, since the children may be dirty with the dirt caused by careless use of the clay, and the clay is a consumable item which can not be used once it is dried, it is troublesome to newly purchase clay every time the clay is played have.

Next, the block toy is a toy that assembles a certain type of blocks to form an assembly, thereby simultaneously developing intelligence as well as interest. Block toys are proposed as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1109171.

1 is a perspective view of a block toy according to the prior art.

A square assembling body in which a central assembler is formed in the inside of the block toy according to the prior art; A left protrusion 10 projecting to the left center of the assembly body; A right protrusion 20 protruding from the right center of the assembly body; A pair of upper protrusions 30 protruding from the upper side of the assembly body so as to form a top assembly hole in the center; A pair of lower protrusions 40 protruding from the lower side of the assembling body so as to form a lower assembler; An inner rib 50 extending from the inner edge of the block toy to a predetermined height at the front and rear sides; An outer rib 60 extending from the outer edge of the block toy to a predetermined height from the front and rear surfaces; And a plurality of assembly assembling protrusions 70 and 80 protruding from the inner surface of the inner rib 50 or the inner surface of the outer rib 60 in the front direction so as to assemble the block toys.

However, if the assembly assembling protrusions 70 and 80 are damaged, there is a problem that the assembly is inconvenient and interest of the children is lowered.

In addition, when the same block is repeatedly set, the time for adjusting the block becomes shorter as the number of times is repeated.

Therefore, it is not interesting to see them only a few times, and there is a limit to the development of cognitive ability.

In addition, when some blocks of the assembled blocks are lost, a new puzzle must be purchased due to the limitation of assembly, which is disadvantageous in cost.
