The invention relates to the field of toys, including children's construction sets, and can be used during the production of elements of children's construction kits for making three-dimensional models. The present construction set element is a convex body and is provided with studs on its upper part, main grooves on its lower part, additional grooves on its side faces, and a locking button. The element is made from a contoured blank having uniform thickness of the surface formed from a pulp based on a fibrous substance. The universality of a construction set element and the combination possibilities of the elements are increased, the coupling efficiency of the construction set elements with one another is increased, and the technique for manufacturing the element is simplified.
