You can turn a handful of laser-cut plywood pieces into impressive 3D models with these IncrediBuilds kits. No glue is required—simply press out the parts and slide them together step by step—though each kit also provides suggestions for painting or embellishing your creation, and many include illustrated and entertaining fact books. Some of the parts are small, so we recommend these models for builders 8 and up.

Instantly recognizable, the Arc de Triomphe is the central monument of Paris and a fascinating work of architecture. No paint is needed for this miniature version—the 32 plywood pieces are imprinted with additional details—but suggestions for coloring and customizing your model are included in the illustrated historical book.
