Clixo enables kids to learn science, spatial, and tactile skills from turning flat 2D shapes into 3D creations. The pieces 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. Clixo also encourages collaborative play, in which each child’s participation adds to the creation while allowing self-expression and decision-making.

• STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics)

• Problem-solving
• Spatial reasoning
• Design 
• Conflict resolution
• Critical thinking
• Collaboration

One Clixo Classroom pack is suitable for 10-15 students to use simultaneously. The pack contains over 100 pieces, enough for each student to build smaller creations on their own, and when collaborating to combine them all together they can become one big super-structure. 

Clixo can be used anywhere! A few places that we found it most beneficial in are: 

• School classrooms
• After-school programs and activity centers.
• Summer camps
• Occupational therapy sessions
• Museum education centers
• Library play areas

Congratulations! To take your first steps with learning with Clixo, check out our How to Get Started page, which specifies the steps and information you will need to introduce Clixo to your educational environment, including videos.

Yes! Each Clixo Classroom pack includes an Educator’s Guide with all of the information you need to know about the pack, Clixo’s qualities, how to connect the Clixo pieces, and ideas for activities incorporating Clixo in the classroom.

There are endless possibilities for how to incorporate Clixo in your classroom learning experience. 

Activity Cards - After your students learn how to use Clixo, we recommend using the Activity Prompt Cards that come with the pack for building inspiration. The cards can be used in individual or group activities, and as independent and instructed play.

Online Activity Library - Check out our Classroom Activity Library to search for activities that are suitable for you and your students. Each activity includes a prompt video, description of the prompt and educational value, materials you will need for the activity, and downloadable and printable Activity Guides with step-by-step instructions on how to facilitate an activity with your students. Activities are organized by category, educational skill, and grade level. 

Educator’s Hub - In addition, the Clixo Classroom online portal offers blogs, and testimonials with ideas from educators who are already engaging their students with creative Clixo activities. 

Absolutely. We love to hear of new ways to use Clixo! Please email us with your activity idea, images, videos or any other information you think would be valuable. Every once in a while post select activities from our educators and post them on the Clixo Classroom site for other educators to use. Email your activity ideas to: edu@clixo.com 

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. 

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, and relief for kids with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and more.

The pieces keep their shape even when using a lot of strength. They do not rip or tear, but they can crease if you keep them tightly folded for an extended period of time. We do, however, recommend avoiding cutting them with scissors. 

Clixo is recommended for children ages 4+ Pre-K and up. The pieces themselves are very safe, the magnets are strongly secured by their plastic casing to prevent detachment, and can be used indoors, outdoors and even in water or the dishwasher (please note that they do not float).
