 at least one indent, and 
 at least one prong; 
   wherein:
 the first base is configured to be connectable with the second base, and 
 an indent of the at least one indent of the first base engages a corresponding one prong of the at least one prong of the second base, or a prong of the at least one prong of the first base engages a corresponding indent of the at least one indent of the second base. 
   
     
     
         2 . The robust children's toy system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one item is a house.
