What Educators think about Clixo

Dr. Jessica Meizi, The Giant Room

“This fits in perfectly with our STEAM programming. It incorporates creative thinking, science and technology and experimentation. It’s a super powerful tool because it’s open-ended and you get to define how you use it. I love it”

Michele Rabinowitz, STEAM educator

“After they get to play with it a bit, they realize they can create three-dimensional shapes. Clixo helps with critical thinking, problem-solving, and working collaboratively as a group.

Eric S., EaAndy Yung, Pre-K Teacher, Queens, New Yorkrly Learning Center

The pack’s potential as a learning tool, particularly for language development, is significant. The introduction of each unique Clixo piece provides an opportunity to expand vocabulary in a playful and context-specific manner.

Educational Benefits

Each child drives their own educational journey at their own pace.

The Power of Simplicity

Naturalistic shapes allowing kids to create intuitively. 

Just the Right Amount of Structure

Some constraints to free-form play provide scaffolding for innovation.
