Abstract
A panel for a multi-part construction toy characterized by having recesses along some or all of its side edges for the locking reception of connector elements of the type incorporated into standard K'NEX multi-part construction sets. The panels are designed for snap-in assembly of the connectors, enabling panels to be joined edge-to-edge to form a substantially continuous wall structure. With right angle connectors, panels can be joined edge-to-edge at right angles. The panels are also provided with central half slots, enabling two panels to be joined with each other in an X-shaped configuration.
