Building toy set

Abstract

A plurality of elongated beams is provided having central bodies and a plurality of terminal ends. A plurality of connectors is provided, each of the connectors adapted to removeably connect to at least two of the plurality of terminal ends. At least one panel is provided having at least two faces, the panel shaped to be removeably and engageably received by at least two of the elongated beams. The panel is formed with a material selected from a group of foams and plastics. At least one edge is on each of the panels. A cross-section of the edge is consistent along the length of the edge and the edge is engageably received by at least one of the elongated beams.

1 . A building toy set comprising: 
 a plurality of elongated beams having central bodies and a plurality of terminal ends;    a plurality of connectors, each of the connectors adapted to removeably connect to at least two of the plurality of terminal ends;    at least one panel having at least two faces, the panel shaped to be removeably and engageably received by at least two of the elongated beams wherein the panel is formed with a material selected from a group consisting of foam and plastic; and    at least one edge, having a length, on each of the panels, wherein a cross-section of the edge is consistent along the length of the edge and wherein the edge is engageably received by at least one of the elongated beams.    
   
   
       2 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of elongated beams includes straight, curved and angled beams.  
   
   
       3 . The building toy set of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of protrusions substantially along the central bodies of the elongated beams for engaging the panels.  
   
   
       4 . The building toy set of  claim 1  further comprising a groove along the length of the edge of the panel for engaging the central bodies.  
   
   
       5 . The building toy set of  claim 1  further comprising an image imprinted on at least one of the faces of the panel.  
   
   
       6 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein the panel further comprises a shape to be engageably received by each elongated beam within a closed circuit of elongated beams.  
   
   
       7 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein the panel is pressure fit between the elongated beams.  
   
   
       8 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein the panel slides in between elongated beams.  
   
   
       9 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the faces of the panel is a writeable surface whereby children may draw on the surface with pencils, crayons or marker.  
   
   
       10 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the panels has a face material adhesively attached to at least one of the faces of the panel.  
   
   
       11 . The building toy set of  claim 1  wherein the elongated beam further comprises four beam sides and all four beam sides are structured to receive the edge of a panel.  
   
   
       12 . A method of using a building toy set, said method comprising the steps of: 
 assembling a frame using elongated beams and connectors; and    fitting a panel within the frame wherein the panel is formed with a material selected from a group consisting of foam and a flexible plastic.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising: 
 inserting the panel within the frame before the frame is completed; and    finishing the frame.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising completing the frame before fitting the panel within the frame.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the frame is a closed circuit of the elongated beams and connectors.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising combining multiple frames to create an object.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising drawing on the panels.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 12  further comprising applying stickers, glitter or other applicators to the panels.  
   
   
       19 . A building toy set comprising: 
 a plurality of elongated beams having central bodies and a plurality of terminal ends;    a plurality of connectors, each of the connectors adapted to removeably connect to at least two of the plurality of terminal ends;    at least one panel having at least two faces and at least one edge, the panel shaped to be removeably and engageably received by at least one of the elongated beams.
