ABSTRACT:
A sculpture amusement device includes a plurality of elements which are adapted be arranged into a plurality of two- and three-dimensional sculptures. The device includes a first stack of interior elements and a second stack of exterior elements. Each interior element includes a front surface and a rear surface, wherein a width of the interior element front surface incrementally decreases with increasing height position in its stack. Each exterior element includes first and second front surfaces, an inside surface disposed between the first and second front surfaces, and a rear surface. Each exterior element inside surface is complementary to each interior element rear surface at corresponding height positions within their respective stacks to form nested pairs of interior and exterior elements. That nesting feature allows efficient stacking and packaging of the set of elements, and allows a user to create attractive two- and three-dimensional sculptures from the elements. The elements of the present invention may be constructed from any substantially rigid material that is safe for young children, and some or all of the elements may be of different colors to attract attention from young children, or for decorative effects.
