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.

    The more time you spend in low stakes social contact with all sorts of girls,
    the easier it will be to interact with them. Part of that,
    too, is interacting not just with girls you find attractive or might want to date,
    but any girls who seem interesting or that you have things in common with.It might be worth
    looking into getting some help and support for your
    social anxiety; it’s a common problem that can be really difficult to deal with, but therapy or
    counseling can often be a great way to learn how to lessen and overcome it.Posts: 1352 From: San Francisco Registered: Jan 2013Talking with people you might like
    to date isn’t “natural” in the sense of everyone being born with the knowledge of how to do so comfortably.

    I think what OhImpecuniousOne is saying above is that when you are getting to know someone, being your natural and authentic sense is a good way to approach that process, and if two people are compatible then the progression towards closer friendship or potential romance does progress more organically.This is part of why I suggested you just get used to approaching women as people and not
    as romantic objects in my first response; the more you get used to interacting with women platonically and see that they are all just people,
    the less intimidating they will be overall and when you do want to initiate a relationship with someone,
    it will most likely seem less scary.Posts: 1352 From: San Francisco Registered:

    things that can make getting to know people hard work.
