ABSTRACT:
A modular toy is provided in the configuration of a building, such as a doll house, formed of a plurality of modular units, each representing, for example, a room or a group of rooms. The modular units are constructed to permit them to be stacked one above the other and/or retained in side-by-side assembly so as to define, when so assembled, a simulated building. In one form, the modular units are molded of plastic with one or more walls thereof shaped to retain objects in place such as furniture, fixtures and appliances. In another form, the modular units are molded in a flat box-like configuration defining five walls of the room which are joined together by molded hinge-like portions permitting the flat molding to be folded into the configuration of the room shell which may also define the walls for the packaging of the unit. In yet another form, the modular units are so assembled and configured that spacing is provided between the ceilings and floors thereof into which spacing a magnet may be manipulated to affect movement of figures and other devices across the floors of the modular units.
