Abstract: A flexable foam construction toy set, comprising: a plurality of elongated foam tube toys, each having an elongated foam body, with a flexible wire adhered therein, to allow each foam tube toy to be bent and retain its bent shape; wherein each tube toy is capable of connection to another tube toy by intertwining the tube toys to be interconnected without the need for defined interconnection structures.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing an elongated, formable article, having an elongated foam body with a flexible wire embedded therein, including the steps of: providing an elongated foam body; substantially entirely coating a flexible wire with an adhesive; and inserting the adhesive-coated wire into the foam body along its longitudinal axis to form the article.

Abstract: A flexible foam construction toy, comprising: an elongated foam body having a central aperture with a first diameter; a flexible wire, with a second diameter approximately equal to the first diameter, .+-.20%, and located along the central aperture of the foam body such that its ends are within a distance no greater than the diameter of the foam body (or the diameter of the largest circle that can be drawn completely within a non-cylindrical foam body) from either end of the foam body; and adhesive between the wire and the foam body for assisting to maintain the wire within the foam body.
