A constructional system provides a plurality of pieces that can be used to assemble an object. The object includes a connector piece having a shaft that includes opposing first and second ends, and a first deformable section including opposing first and second bars extending from the first end of the shaft. A first notch is defined by the first bar and a first shaft edge, and a second notch is defined by the second bar and a second shaft edge, with the first deformable section having a width defined by the opposing first and second bars. The object further includes a first body piece provided with an aperture having a dimension which is substantially smaller than the width of the first deformable section. The opposing first and second bars of the first deformable section of the connector piece are deformed to insert the first deformable section through the aperture to effectuate a connection of the first deformable section with the first body piece at the location of the aperture.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An object assembled by interconnecting a plurality of pieces, the plurality of pieces including a first piece and a second piece, the object comprising:a first piece having a shaft having a first end, the first piece further including a first deformable section including opposing first and second bars extending from the first end of the shaft to define first and second notches, the opposing first and second bars also defining the width of the first deformable section; anda second piece including an aperture having a width and a widest dimension that is no greater than about half the width of the first deformable section of the first piece;wherein the opposing first and second bars of the first deformable section of the first piece are deformed to insert the first deformable section through the aperture of the second piece to effectuate a connection of the first deformable section with the second piece at the location of the aperture.
