Stix is an open-ended and modular construction toy that engages kids' creativity.
The aim of the game? Absolute freedom: to create and reproduce all possible and unimaginable ideas. Planning, fine motor skills and creativity are the keys to creating amazing creatures, characters or buildings!
And for that, Stix hides a magic secret: the “rotational joint”! By combining the half-spheres and the silicone tubes, the children obtain a rotational joint which allows them to freely orient and stabilize the constructions with the wooden planks! The silicone pieces hold the wooden planks in place and allow endless possibilities.
Stix 60 includes 60 pieces as a whole:
- 20 silicone half-spheres (non-toxic)
- 20 silicone tubes (non-toxic)
- 20 solid wooden boards (beech wood)
- 1 instruction booklet (including examples of Creative Cards)
1. Open-ended play
The best rule is not to have any! Build the creation of your choice but remember this important principle: if you want to connect different heights: use the rotational joint system to make your construction as stable and creative as possible!
2. Figurative play
With Stix you can also create friends to play with: animals, buildings, bridges, or even entire cities... Use the creative cards to help you if you need some ideas!
3. The tallest Stix tower!
Build the tallest tower without dropping any pieces. Try to place all the pieces you can (tubes, half-spheres, and wooden planks). Will you be able to touch the ceiling?
4. Balance of the Stix and/or Battle of the Stix
Challenge your balance and patience (alone or with a teammate) in this game mode! Place the first plank perfectly balanced on top of one or more tubes, then continue building the tower by placing the same piece on each side. Be careful to place the pieces at the same time so you don’t have an unbalanced tower! This game mode can be played cooperatively or competitively (for example, the one who drops the tower first loses).
