A favorite of mine growing up. I loved trying to make water worthy boats. They were terrifying boats.

Wow, have not thought about this toy since I was a little kid in the mid 90s!! We made a boat out of it and attached a fishing line to catch a giant fish in the neighborhood pond...never cought the damn thing. Made all kinds of things!

Boats were the best! Loved those little floating things!

It took me ages to get the name of the toy! I started thinking of them, but everyone was saying tinker toys or knex and the like, until someone got my (very wrong) description of the floaties, and bam! It's the toy in my head!
