FAQs
How does Clixo work?
It’s easy and simple! Just connect different shapes and pieces together by snapping the red magnet and the blue magnet together. The pieces are also flexible and can be curved in different ways to make different designs.

What age is Clixo appropriate for?
Clixo pieces are for anyone 3 to 99! Children and adults of all ages love them and use them for both playing and prototyping, or as a fun, fidgety desk toy!
I'm trying to decide between the packs. Can you help me?
Happy to help! We have a YouTube video here that explains some of the differences (it starts at the 6 minute 30 second mark).
The Itsy Pack is currently our smallest size with 18 pieces. It comes in 6 shapes and you get to select the color for your pack (3 options). It comes with 6 different shapes, which enables kids to get a good variety of experience with building with our play system.
Similar to the Itsy Pack, the Crew Pack also enables you to select the color of your choice. However, the Crew comes with 30 pieces, which includes an accessory called the “spinner” that is not in the Itsy Pack. This “spinner” enables helicopter propellers to spin, can be used as the bottom of a spinning top, or can be snapped onto a creation as a pair of eyes or a nose.
The Rainbow Pack is the set that comes with all the colors and shapes (including the “spinner” that the Crew Pack has). It has 42 pieces which enables kids to create much larger creations than what they could’ve done with the Itsy or the Crew.
The Super Rainbow Pack is the larger version of the Rainbow Pack as it comes with 60 pieces. This is a fantastic pack for solo kids who have larger than life imaginations or for more than one child to play with.
The Rainbow Wheel Combo Pack is the Super Rainbow Pack combined with our new wheels accessory. We recommend these for older kids (5+) who have had some prior experience with the Clixo packs.
We hope these explanations help. Please feel free to email hello@clixo.com if you have any additional questions!

What makes Clixo educational?
Through its ingenious, research-based design, Clixo enables kids to learn science, spatial, and tactile skills from turning flat 2D shapes into 3D objects. The pieces also encourage experimentation, enabling kids to turn abstract concepts and creative ideas into tangible reality. Elements in the design also involve certain constraints, which help foster soft skills like creative thinking, patience, and persistence.
Is an instruction guide included?
Clixo is an open-ended toy that encourages free play and creative exploration. We don’t believe that instructions are necessary, but we do include a quick start guide in each pack to help kids get started. We also provide cool ideas in our challenges page and activity ideas on our blog.
Why is Clixo special?
We’ve spent years researching and working on our patented design and it’s absolutely the coolest thing about Clixo. The play system is flexible, incredibly intuitive, and ageless – absolutely anyone can pick them up and play.
Simply by experimenting with the different pieces, one can discover new ways to fold them, combine them, and place them – whether it’s stuck on a metallic surface, worn on your body, or wrapped around an object. It’s also meant to be easy to create with and tweak, so that you can constantly iterate and improve on anything you’ve built, or easily take it apart to rebuild anew.
It’s a building toy with a modern twist, and the possibilities are limitless.

What makes Clixo different from other building sets?
There are many factors that make Clixo infinitely unique. Unlike other building sets on the market, Clixo pieces are flexible and don’t require a flat surface to build or play. The pieces also stack easily and pack light, to make it easier for kids to play with or wear on the go. Strong durable magnets enable kids to stick it to any magnetic surface for even more play possibilities. Last but not least, cleanup is a snap – just stack the pieces up and you’re all done!
Are all Clixo packs and pieces compatible?
Yes. Clixo pieces are modular and can be used together with pieces from other packs.
What is Clixo made of?
Clixo pieces are made from recyclable and durable synthetic paper with strong-embedded magnets for maximum safety. The materials are proprietary, kid-safe (non-toxic), and specially developed for our brand. Safety is a priority for Clixo and all Clixo products have passed numerous laboratory tests and are compliant with federal toy safety standards including ASTM, EN71, and California’s Proposition 65. Our packaging is made from recycled bamboo and is sustainably manufactured.
How do I clean Clixo pieces?
There are many different ways to clean your Clixo pieces. You can use a damp cloth to wipe them down or stick them in a dishwasher. For extra peace of mind, they can also be sanitized with an Isopropyl alcohol solution (70%) and wiped down with a soft cloth (but it’s not necessary).
Which pack would you recommend for a 4 year old?
For younger children, the Itsy and Crew packs are great choices as they can each scale with age. Kids can start with 2D shapes and slowly get more acquainted with 3D creations.
Which pack would you recommend for an 8 year old?
For older children, the Rainbow, Super Rainbow, and Rainbow Wheel Combo packs are fantastic options as they allow for wider varieties and complexities of builds.
Which pack would you recommend for a family or classroom?
For a group of younger kids (2-4), the triple Itsy bundles are wonderful as they contain enough pieces for 2D and 3D builds. Adult supervision is always recommended for kids of this age.
For older kids (5+), the Super Rainbow pack or multiple Crew packs are great fun in a classroom or a larger family setting as these would offer enough pieces for everyone to play with solo or together to create a wide variety of creations.
All our pieces from all our packs can be combined to create larger objects and structures.

Which pack would you recommend as a gift?
We love all our packs and think they all make excellent gifts!
The Rainbow pack has been the consistent fan favorite for its full collection of colors and the fun spinner accessory (spinner is available in all packs except the Itsy).
Our newest collection, the Rainbow Wheel Combo Pack with the number of pieces and the addition of wheels, has sold out twice since it launched and offers a ton of creative flexibility (and all the fun colors!) for kids of all ages.

Do you recommend Clixo for children with special needs?
Absolutely. The vibrant colors and unique, flexible shapes are fun and fantastic for visual and creative stimulation. From the smooth durable paper to the haptic feedback from the snap of the magnets, Clixo is so much fun to grip, click, and explore. It uses play as a powerful gateway for hands-on learning and self-expression.
The Clixo play system can help your child develop problem-solving, hand-eye coordination, and creative thinking skills and they’re portable so they can be taken on the go to keep your child entertained and engaged.
Whether they’re simply snapping the pieces together, creating a small object, an imaginary creature, a custom wearable, or a fidget friend, building with Clixo can be an excellent source of fun, focus, engagement, relaxation for kids with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and more!

Tell me about your packaging
We put a lot of thought into our packaging and you can read about it in our blog to learn more about our philosophy and decision-making process (it’s super interesting, we swear)!
The answer is that Clixo’s packaging is plastic-free and made of bamboo which is 100% biodegradable and compostable. We believe that Clixo isn’t the type of toy meant to be stashed away in a box. It is built for kids to constantly experiment and prototype with. So, our packaging is meant purely as a shipping container and not a storage container.

Can I Include a gift note with my order?
Yes! You have the option to include a free gift note in your order. When you get to the checkout, look for the area that says “Add a Gift Note.” As a standard practice, we never include a bill / receipt in the package box.
I bought a pack! Now what?
One of the best ways to play with Clixo is to simply start snapping things together. As you familiarize yourself with the pieces, various combinations give birth to “aha moments” and happy accidents. Things can click into place just from improvisation and playing around. We also have some fun resources in the form of step-by-step video builds and helpful articles. In about a week, you will receive an email asking for a review. This only goes out to verified buyers and ensures that the reviews on our site are authentic. It would mean a lot to us if you would leave some feedback whether through product reviews on our site, Google, Facebook, or Amazon. We would love to hear your comments and we know others would appreciate your review too. 🙏
