Young Architect Toy…


So i came across this whilst searching around Amazon

The stereotypical child architect...? well he does look like a wanker i guess.

The young architect by …‘Poof-Slinky’ (no….really…)

Build your own 3-D architectural models – just like real architects do!

  • Reusable design and building set
  • Create 3-D models in three easy steps
  • Design floor plans with room templates
  • Furnish rooms with the furniture guide and colored pencils
  • Build a 3-D model on top of the floor plan
  • 9 room templates

Why isn't this child wearing all black?

Learn to envision different uses of space, proportion and architectural design to create your own unique dream house.

“I bought this for my 14 year old son and was very disappointed…. A pad of graph paper, plastic templates that are available at office supply stores, a good metal ruler, some paper and tape are a better investment than this. ”

“I agree …this item disappointing. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. (…) all you get is few pieces of acrylic, tracing paper, a few peel and stick windows and four colored pencils. The “manual” is a 4-page booklet with little useful information in it. The people selling this should be ashamed of foisting it on gullible consumers (like me). Borders on being a scam. ”

All for the low, low price of US$55

I have come up with a cheaper solution, rather than spending a lot of money on your child (they certainly wont have money if they do make it to be an architect after all!) why not give them the real experience?

Simply keep your child awake for 40 hours straight, get them addicted to red bull and have them design a fully drafted and documented 4 bedroon, 2 bathroom, living, dining and kitched 6 star enegy rating house that complies with building codes and regulations and uses solely recycled materials – by tomorrow.

  7. oui mais niet. Affirmatif parce que on rencontre d抋utres sources qui se r閒閞ent de semblables significations. Non parce que il n抏st pas assez de r閜閠er ce qu抩n est en mesure de rencontrer avec certains site internet 閠rangers puis le transposer aussi naturellement:

  8. Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

    however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
    Thanks

  17. In these days of austerity in addition to relative stress about running into debt, lots of people balk resistant to the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make purchase of merchandise or even pay for any occasion, preferring, instead to rely on the actual tried along with trusted procedure for making settlement – hard cash. However, in case you have the cash on hand to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time to be able to use the cards for several causes.

    be bookmarking it and checking back often!

    Here is my web page; Anime Music

  20. Nice post! Thank you.

  21. 사설토토 says:

    Hey there! I’ve been following your weblog for
    some time now and finally got the courage to go
    ahead and give you a shout out from Huffman Texas!
    Just wanted to say keep up the fantastic work!

  22. Great blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Cheers!

  23. First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thanks!

  24. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks

  25. Hi there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really enjoy your content. Please let me know. Cheers

  26. I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays,
    but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all
    web owners and bloggers made just right content as
    you did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before.

  27. Google says:

    We came across a cool internet site that you just may delight in. Take a look for those who want.

  28. Google says:

    Here is a great Blog You might Locate Fascinating that we encourage you to visit.

  29. Hey! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

  30. Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it

  31. Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

  32. Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  33. I do not know if it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your website. It appears like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before. Many thanks

  34. This design is spectacular! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  35. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an very long comment but after
    I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless,
    just wanted to say great blog!

  36. Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it

  37. This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve found something that helped me.
    Many thanks!

    This is my first time pay a visit at here and i am really
    happy to rea all at single place.

  39. Excellent beat ! I would like to apprentice at the same time as you amend your web site, how
    could i subscribe for a blog web site? The account aided me a applicable deal.
    I had been a little bit familiar of this your broadcast provided bright transparent idea

    Check out my website JENSEN BEACH FL HOUSES

  40. excellent publish, very informative. I’m wondering why the other experts of this sector do not understand this.
    You should continue your writing. I’m confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!

  41. Hey this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  42. usually posts some incredibly exciting stuff like this. If you are new to this site

  43. I’m not sure why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  44. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.

    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Check out my web blog: SOUTH FLORIDA FORECLOSURES

  45. Terrific post however , I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Cheers!

  46. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

  47. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think of if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could definitely be one of the best in its field. Superb blog!

  48. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  49. I am curious to find out what blog system you are using? I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my latest site and I’d like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

  50. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
