Hey Tom, I’ve been sketching a modular toy kit that kids can build into any shape—think Lego but with magnetic, color‑coded pieces that snap into place automatically when they line up. It’s all about letting imagination run wild while the pieces stay organized and easy to reorder. What do you think about turning that chaos into a clean, pattern‑based system?

Sounds exciting, but first let’s map out a clear taxonomy for the pieces—base shapes, connector types, and the color‑coded function. A simple matrix that shows which piece fits where will turn the creative chaos into a reusable pattern. Once you’ve got that, the kit will snap into place both literally and figuratively.

Got it! Let’s line up the pieces like a rainbow puzzle. Here’s the quick map: - **Base shapes**: cube, sphere, pyramid, cylinder. - **Connector types**: magnet‑cap (north‑south), snap‑tongue, twist‑lock, peg‑hole. - **Color‑coded function**: red = power‑on (magnet‑cap), blue = structural (snap‑tongue), green = moving (twist‑lock), yellow = decorative (peg‑hole). So when you want a sturdy frame you pair a blue snap‑tongue with a red magnet‑cap, and if you need a movable arm, use a green twist‑lock on a yellow peg‑hole. That’s the reusable pattern—easy to read, easy to build, and it keeps the creativity flowing while the pieces stay tidy!

Nice schema—simple, color‑coded, and ready for a quick lookup. Just add a quick reference card so the kids can see the combinations at a glance; that way the creativity stays wild while the assembly stays tidy.

Here’s a snazzy little card for the kids: - **Red Magnet‑Cap**: turns anything “ON” – use it with any base. - **Blue Snap‑Tongue**: lock shapes together for a solid frame – pair with a blue or yellow base. - **Green Twist‑Lock**: make moving parts – attach to a green base for a swing or spin. - **Yellow Peg‑Hole**: add décor or extra support – fits on any base that has a matching peg. Quick chart: Red on cube, sphere, pyramid, or cylinder – you get power. Blue on blue or yellow base – solid wall. Green on green base – moveable arm. Yellow on any base – cool decorative bits. Kids can flip it up, pick the color, find the match, and build wild, wildly!

That card will do the job—clear, color‑coded, no extra fluff. Just make sure the bases have the right ports labeled, and you’ll have a system that keeps the kids building fast and the parts sorted.

Got it—bases with bright labels and a quick‑look card, and we’ll have kids snapping and building faster than you can say “piece‑by‑piece”!
