A take-apart toy includes a universal flat body and a set of appendages for forming a toy, such as a geometrical shape, building member ornament, or figure. The body is provided with elongated grooves on each side, uniformly spaced from the body's edge. Each appendage includes a body receiving slot having groove-engaging lugs at an outer end for engaging the grooves and releasably securing appendage to body. The elongated grooves permit selective movement and positioning of the appendages around the body without disengaging the lugs from the grooves. The appendage slots are longer than the distance between the grooves and the body edge to permit angular adjustment of the appendages on the body, also without removal of the lugs from the grooves. Selected appendages are also provided with similar elongated grooves for attachment of other slotted appendages thereto.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A toy comprising: a universal body having two opposite flat sides terminating in a thin portion adjacent an edge of said body, an elonated groove on each of said sides, said grooves uniformly spaced from said edge, appendage means for connection to said body, said appendage means having a thin portion adjacent an edge of said appendage means, said latter thin portion having a body receiving slot therein extending inwardly from an edge of said appendage means and including projection means extending into said slot from said side thereof to engage said grooves when said body is received in said slot, said projection means disposed adjacent the outer end of said slot and engging in respective ones of said grooves on each side of said body when said body is received in said slot, said slot having a length longer than the distance between the grooves and the body edge wherein the connection between said body and appendage means is such as to permit said appendage means to pivot about said projection means without disengagement of said projection means from said grooves, and said grooves extending along said sides a predetermined distance to permit said appendage means to move along said body edge without removing said projection means from said grooves.
2.
A toy as in claim 1 wherein said slot has a width approximately equal to the thickness of said body.
3.
A toy as in claim 2 wherein said projection means comprises opposing lugs extending into said slot, the distance between said opposing lugs being less than the thickness of said body.
4.
A toy as in claim 3 wherein said slots on each side of said body are in register and wherein said body, between said grooves, has a predetermined thickness less than the thickness of the remainder of the body, the distance between said lugs being approximately equal to said predetermined thickness.
5.
A toy as in claim 4 wherein said appendage means are sufficiently yieldable to permit said lugs to be manually pushed onto said body and into said grooves
