Squish them, connect them and create with them. That's what you do with Bunchems, new in South Africa (available exclusively at Toy Kingdom), and winner of the international toy of the year 2016 in the activites category at the New York Toy Fair.

Just Fun Kidz, the distributos of Bunchems, is giving away one Bunchems Mega Pack, which allows you to build 36 highly tactile 3D creations including owls, bears, octopi, cars, monkeys and more! Each set comes with accessories such as wings, eyes, hats and feet, and kids can build, pull them apart, and create something else.

Have a look at the video here to get an idea:

Each Mega Pack Assortment comes with more than 400 pieces in various colours, and Includes a small guide and idea book to get your started (there are also some great YouTube videos with more ideas and inspiration).

In stores, there are currently two other products in the range, in addition to the Mega pack:

The Creation pack, R149.99

I had some good fun creating with Bunchems, and I can see why these toys have been such a hit overseas.
