Zoomorphs

Zoomorphs is a line of educational building toys made by River Dolphin Toys, a Brooklyn-based company. Each set of Zoomorphs contains between 30 and 100 plastic animal pieces that can be snapped together to form actual creatures, such as a cat or dinosaur, or rearranged to create fantasy creatures, such as a dino-cat-horse-bird. Each set's pieces are interchangeable with the pieces of all the other sets.cite web |title=Zoomorphs website |url=http://www.zoomorphs.com] As of late 2006, Zoomorphs were available in nearly 1,100 specialty toy stores.cite web |title="TDmonthly" November 2006|url=http://www.toydirec.com/monthly/article.asp?id=2229]
