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 a toy that encourages open-ended play and creative exploration, 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 dedicated years to researching and developing our patented design to create a versatile, intuitive, and universal system.
Through experimenting with its various components, users can discover innovative ways to fold, combine, and position them—whether attached to a metallic surface, worn on the body, or wrapped around an object. With strong magnets and durable materials, it enables seamless creation and customization, facilitating ongoing iteration and creative enhancements.
What makes Clixo different from other building sets?
Clixo stands out for several reasons that make it truly unique. Unlike other building sets available, Clixo pieces offer flexibility, eliminating the need for a flat surface for building or play. They stack effortlessly and are lightweight, making it convenient for children to play with them on the move or even wear them. Equipped with robust magnets, Clixo allows kids to attach creations to any magnetic surface, expanding their play possibilities. Additionally, the Window pack includes suction cup accessories, which can be purchased separately, enabling connections to windows and tiles. Cleanup is a breeze too—simply stack the pieces together, and you're done!
Are all Clixo packs and pieces compatible?
Yes. Clixo pieces are modular and can be used together with pieces from other Clixo 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.
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 experiment and prototype with constantly. So, our packaging is meant purely as a shipping container, not a storage container.
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?
The Itsy and Crew packs are great choices for younger children as they can scale with age. Kids can start with 2D shapes and slowly get acquainted with 3D creations.
Which pack would you recommend for an 8 year old?
The Rainbow, Super Rainbow, Wheel Creator, Mars Rovers and Ocean Creatures packs are fantastic options for older children 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 kids), the Window & Itsy bundle is wonderful as they contain enough pieces for 2D and 3D builds and can attach to windows and tiles. Adult supervision is always recommended for kids of this age.
For older kids (5+) and families, the Super Rainbow Pack or Wheel Creator Pack are great fun for families , as these would offer enough pieces for everyone to play solo or together to create a wide variety of creations.
For the classroom setting, we recommend the Classroom Pack. Check out our Classroom Portal to learn more.
All the pieces from all our packs can be combined to create larger objects and structures.
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, and relaxation for kids with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and more!
Is Clixo recommended for children with disabilities?
Absolutely. Clixo is universally designed to be suitable for kids of all ages, skill levels and abilities. Serving as a great tool to help develop social, verbal, emotional, and fine motor skills, the Clixo pieces’ affordances, rounded shapes, the flexibility of the material, and auditory feedback, allow kids with varying fine motor abilities and communication skills to enjoy playing and creating in an inclusive setting.
