Zoob Building Sets

ZOOB Building Sets
ZOOB is an award-winning building set with a difference: Zoob pieces move after you put them together. Inspired by the nucleotides that make up DNA, ZOOB replicates the way things connect and transform in nature, so ZOOB captures dynamic movement. As a result, you can play with your creations--from cars to carnivores--instead of just looking at them.
