Great for imagination play

My kids have loved building with these. The little pieces are easy to lose, and easy to go in little mouths, but over all this is a good quality product.

Awesome quiet time activity for school age kids

My 8 year old daycare kid loves this toy! He makes all the creations that are included in the set. (The pictures) He is really smart and so I am very happy that he can play with this toys for a long time. It challenges him to look at all the sides of the example pictures to get what he is building accurate. So far I have not needed the clips you can buy separately. The younger kids are fascinated by this and try to duplicate his work, and it is harder for them. I am sure they will learn quickly!

Amazing and Creative!

I got these for my Kindergarten class in the fall. I saw these used four years ago and knew that I still wanted them in my class. Kids can use them to create amazing creations, suggested or spontaneously. I love these so much!

Awesome for all ages

These were amazing in my Kindergarten class and have moved nicely on to 3rd graders. I've had them over 10 years and a few have broken over time when students tried to interlock them, but they still can be used as smaller pieces. We love them!

After having these in my classroom, we asked for a set for my Pre-K daughter for her birthday. Not only does she love them, but her 10 year old sister does also! They build together and independently. Would recommend buying two sets for bigger kids' projects but one set is great for littles.

Fun new toy for young children

My class is learning to build and be very creative with these sticks. It takes a bit of building with the kids at first. Once they see how the stix work they are having a blast creating things!
