This flexible plastic construction set is great for making patterns, towers, robots and more. It can be combined with our other construction sets to make elaborate and exciting constructions. The pieces connect together in a number of different orientations using the channels along their edges. The pieces are flexible and soft allowing for a tactile experience. Your creations (although sturdy) are easily deconstructed when packing away. The construction set comes in a plastic box with a lid and includes a picture sheet for inspiration.
