Classroom
Summer is the perfect time for fun, whimsical exploration—both indoors and out—making it the ideal season to unplug and play. That’s why we’re launching the Clixo Summer Series, filled with our favorite ways to enjoy the season with Clixo.
We’re beyond excited to announce a brand-new partnership that’s turning up the imagination dial this summer: Clixo is teaming up with Child’s Play NY, one of NYC’s most inspiring theater education companies, to bring you a joyful summer of creative play, storytelling, and Clixo-powered adventures!
Meet Our Partners: Child’s Play NY
Child’s Play NY is a Brooklyn-based theater education company that offers empowering drama programs for kids ages 3–11. Their camps and in-school residencies center around creativity, collaboration, and social-emotional growth where kids are not only the performers but also the writers, designers, and dreamers behind the scenes.
Founded by Jocelyn Greene, a professional actor, teaching artist, and mom, Child’s Play NY has built a reputation for magical storytelling experiences rooted in empathy, confidence-building, and a whole lot of fun. Jocelyn’s vision is all about helping kids find their voice through imaginative play, something we at Clixo are all about, too!

What’s the Clixo x Child’s Play NY Partnership?
This summer, we’re joining forces to bring Clixo into Child’s Play NY summer camps, with specially designed activities that combine open-ended building with dramatic storytelling.
Campers are exploring weekly themes like Dragons & Unicorns, Under the Sea, and Superheroes—and now, they’re using Clixo to build props, costumes, characters, and even entire worlds to fuel their stories!
But that’s not all! We’re launching a Clixo Summer Series across our platforms, featuring:
- New Clixo summer activity ideas and lesson guides inspired by real classroom and camp settings
- Behind-the-scenes videos from our Child’s Play NY collaboration
- Photos, interviews, and blog posts showing how kids bring their creations to life
- Social media features on Instagram, YouTube, and more
July Activity Spotlight: Magical Creatures!
We kicked off the series with a spectacular pretend-play mission: a Magical Creatures activity inspired by Child’s Play NY’s theatrical dramatic presentations. Just walking into their space, we are already feeling the creative performance feeling in which anything is possible, and every moment is an opportunity to bring imagination into life.
Campers used Clixo pieces to design their very own magical creature companions. Some had rainbow-colored wings, others had bendy tails, sparkly claws, or multiple moving parts. Then came the best part: with a grand entrance - each child introduced their creature to the group—giving it a name, a voice, and a backstory in a dramatic “creature showcase.”
It was the perfect blend of building, storytelling, and imaginative play—plus, it encouraged social-emotional growth and creative confidence in a way that felt totally effortless and joyful.

What’s Coming Next?
Throughout July and August, we’ll be sharing more activity spotlights inspired by real camp experiences—from underwater explorers to superhero set design, improv games to SEL-inspired talk shows.
