Disclosed are toy systems for creating and fixing an array of polygon shaped plastic beads together to form a design. The toy systems can include a tray, a plurality of beads, and a template. The plurality of beads can engage pins on the surface of the tray. Each of the beads can be configured to fuse or adhere to adjacent beads upon drying after the application of liquid to the plurality of beads engaged to the tray, forming a fixed array of beads. The template can be configured to engage the pins of the tray between the tray and the plurality of beads. The template can provide a design for the plurality of beads and can be used to remove a fixed or loose array of beads from the tray.
