The invention of Tinkertoys® was inspired by empty spools of thread.
Introduced in 1914, the classic construction toy was created by inventors Charles H. Pajeau and Robert Pettit after they saw children entertain themselves by building structures using pencils and empty spools of thread. Their final product was based on Pythagorean principles, which meant that a triangle made from sticks and spools could become the side of a pyramid.
