Only Add Clixo Magnetic Building Tiles if You Want Your Students Completely Engaged and Focused

As a former classroom teacher who now creates hands-on learning resources for educators, I still have a deep love for creative play and open-ended learning. My homeschool cart is full of the same kinds of materials I used to keep in my classroom STEM bins, including building tools, games, and activities that get kids thinking, tinkering, and imagining.

When I discovered Clixo, a flexible magnetic building toy that blends play with STEAM learning, I couldn’t wait to test it out with my own kids.

‍

First Impressions

The first day I pulled out Clixo, I honestly thought it would keep my kids busy for 15 to 20 minutes while I got some work done. I was wrong.

Within minutes, they were completely immersed, building, bending, snapping, and twisting the colorful pieces in to all kinds of wild creations. It wasn’t just my older kids who were hooked, my toddler joined in too. Even my husband got down on the floor to build with them.

Before I knew it, there were helicopters, an octopus, and even a full rescue storyline unfolding across the living room. Apparently, the Clixo helicopter had to save a baby, also made from Clixo pieces of course.

That’s when I realized what makes Clixo special. There’s no single right way to play,and the flexible, magnetic design means kids can twist and shape their ideas however they want….no table or flat surface required.

‍Why Clixo Stands Out

I have used every kind of building set, including blocks, bricks,Magna-Tiles,

and gears. Clixo brings something new to the mix.

‍

The flexible design lets kids build in 2D and 3D, creating shapes that move

and bend in ways traditional blocks cannot.

‍

The magnetic connection means the pieces easily snap together and even

attach to any metallic surface. Mykids quickly discovered the fridge is now

part of the play zone.

Clixo pieces are lightweight, compact, and easy to clean up, making them

perfect for travel, quiet time, or keeping in a STEM bin.

Clixo feels alive in your hands. The click and bend of each piece is satisfying. It is creative, calming,

and collaborative all at once.

‍^{Turning Play into Learning}

Once I saw how much my kids loved building freely, I turned their play into learning challenges.

Here are a few favorites that have been a hit in our house:

• Wearable Clixo: Build something that you can wear on your body. Armor or jewelery, nothing is off the table!

‍

• Bridge Builder: Create a bridge that can hold three markers or a small toy car. They had to test and redesign several times before finding the perfect angle.

‍

• Creature Creation: Build an animal with moving parts and write a story about its adventures. This became a STEAM and literacy crossover.

‍

• Spin and Soar: Design something that moves or spins when you blow on it. Testing shapes and air resistance made it extra fun

Watching my kids collaborate,problem-solve, and giggle reminded me why I love open-ended learning. They weren’t following directions. They were discovering, experimenting, andlearning naturally.

Clixo Compared to Other Building Toys

Clixo does not replace our favorite toys. It enhances them.

It is one of those rare educational toys that grows with kids and inspires everyone, from toddlers to teens, and apparently husbands too.

Why I Recommend It for Teachers and Parents

Whether you are a classroom teacher, a homeschool parent, or someone who wants to encourage more hands-on STEAM learning, Clixo fits right in. It is durable, colorful, and designed to spark curiosity.

It supports problem-solving play,creative collaboration, and critical thinking without kids realizing they are learning.

It works in many ways:

• Morning tubs or early-finisher stations in the classroom
• Family design challenges at home
• Portable creative play on road trips or during downtime

Final Thoughts

Clixo has earned a permanent spot in our homeschool cart and on my list of must-have tools for teachers. It is engaging, educational, and endlessly creative. My kids are learning to design,test, and problem-solve while thinking they are just playing.

That is what makes Clixo so brilliant.
