Blocks - a universal toy for several generations and for entire generations

Blocks have enjoyed the enduring interest of generations of toddlers for decades. Initially they were wooden pieces stacked on top of each other. Already such a set allowed to build interesting objects - however, younger children suffered when the unstable building slid to the floor in an instant, nullifying the effort of many minutes of work. The answer to this became plastic blocks, cast in molds. The multitude of colors, the lightness of the elements and, above all, the ability to be permanently assembled, have made them a hit for many years to come.

Recent decades bring the development of completely new design solutions. Taking advantage of the latest developments, such as the advantages of neodymium magnets or the ability to produce even the most complex plastic parts - manufacturers can offer completely different ways to combine and create almost any spatial objects.

Klix blocks - from now on this sound will be associated with great fun

Among the many types of construction solutions, Klix blocks are distinguished not only by the form of the individual elements, but also by the specific sound they make when they are put together. The distinctive quiet click gave the name to these blocks, and devotees have since associated them with great fun that is hard to tear themselves away from. In contrast, Klix blocks are not only easy to connect, but also easy to detach, allowing you to improve your design or create a completely new design. However, the need to feel the necessary force makes Klix blocks suitable for slightly older preschoolers - it's best to start playing with them at around 5-6 years old. For that there is no upper age limit. It turns out that new possibilities of combining and completely different rules of constructing objects are an attractive activity even for picky 10-year-olds.

What are Clixes?

The set includes 4 types of modules in three colors - red, yellow and blue. The blocks are connected by light pressure, during which you hear this characteristic sound. Disconnection requires a bit more force, but is still relatively easy. Blocks form strong and slightly flexible joints. The shape of the elements was chosen not by accident. Taking inspiration from the skeletal structures of modern buildings, spatial shapes have been created to allow the construction of lightweight, openwork structures. The rules for connecting the individual pieces are different from those of traditional building blocks, which provides an additional challenge, but also a stimulus to develop creative thinking and spatial imagination. What is extremely important, the durable connections of the blocks mean that the created forms can be used as props for further games - without worrying about them falling apart at the slightest movement.

What's in the kit?

The Klix bricks in the basic set consist of as many as 300 pieces, providing almost unlimited play opportunities for at least two children. They are packaged in an aesthetically pleasing and durable plastic box with a resealable lid, which serves as a container for storing them. The package included an instruction manual with examples of 10 flat and spatial forms, which can be a start to create their own, much more advanced designs.
