Clics Big Rollerbox Set

The Rollerbox Clics sets, like this one, come in plastic boxes with big wheels. They have different number of assorted pieces – the big set has 560 pieces in total and offers many different models to build.

ClicsToys, a Belgian company established in 2001, operates its very own factory located in Kempen, where they craft the popular Clics building blocks. These building sets mostly have square pieces, all sharing identical form and shape. What sets Clics apart is their ability to connect smoothly at the edges, allowing flexible joint movements.

Using these plastic squares, the creative possibilities are endless, even though Clics sets usually offer relatively few extra pieces and accessories. Some sets may include wheels and decorative panels, but few extra items. The true strength of Clics lies in the generous number of pieces in their sets, allowing you to make even biggest creations with ease. The pieces of Clics are too big to swallow and easy to hold, so they are safe, but some connections can be too tricky to younger kids. So the most sets are recommended for children who are 3 years old or older. However, these sets will be interesting even for the 10-years-olds.

The fundamental building blocks in Clics are square, which naturally leads to the cubic or brick-like structures. However, the great advantage of these blocks is the ability to connect them at various angles, making diverse shapes. Careful assembly can even give you triangular or sloping figures. Nevertheless, the most robust and tough structures in Clics are cube-shaped. Additionally, you can create flat mosaics by combining pieces of different colors.

Spaghetteez Building Set – Box

Spaghetteez sets come in cardboard boxes. This photo shows a box of the 100 piece Spaghetteez building set.

Spaghetteez is a unique brand of building sets with flexible tubes. Basic Spaghetteez pieces are plastic straws of different lengths, and they not only bend very well but also keep whatever shape you twist them into. They can bend again and again to form a flat surface, they can wrap around each other, form knots, and so on.

All the straws have special connectors on their ends, so you can connect any straws together, or loop a straw by connecting its own ends. The sets also have special connectors that will hold the straws together at certain angles or side by side. Or, if you need to connect two straws by their middles, you can just tie them together.

Just like any other straw, the Spagheettez set allows you to create lightweight and hollow shapes. However, these straws can hold together upright if your craft’s shape allows it. For example, you can create an animal, and it will actually stand on its legs. The Spaghetteez sets also include wheels, so you can create a vehicle and actually roll it around.

Unlike with many other sets with straws, you can’t cut Spaghetteez straws and continue to connect them. Spaghetteez straws have special connecting pieces on their ends, so they won’t be able to connect if you cut the end off. Because of this, the sets have many straws of different lengths.

Spaghetteez Building Set – Baseplate

Some bigger Spaghetteez sets include a soft baseplate that will hold the crafts in place and balance them. These baseplate have many sockets for the straws, but they are covered with the pieces of soft plastic when not in use.

Clics Castle

A yellow Clics castle we made with Willy. It has a bridge ove the lake and a flowery lawn around it.

ClicsToys is a Belgian company with roots dating back to its establishment in 2001. They are recognized for their production of Clics building blocks, which are manufactured in their own factory located in Kempen, Belgium. Clics building sets consist of square pieces, all of which share the same form and shape. These squares easily connect at their edges, forming movable joints.

Since the fundamental building blocks of Clics are squares, the primary structures you can assemble tend to be cubic or brick-like in nature. Nevertheless, thanks to the movable joints, you have the ability to connect them at various angles, resulting in diverse shapes. With careful assembly, it’s even possible to create triangular or sloping figures. However, the cubes remain the sturdiest and most reliable structures that this set can offer. Additionally, you have the option to craft flat mosaics by combining pieces of different colors.

These plastic squares enable you to construct flat surfaces and transform them into three-dimensional shapes. Despite having few additional pieces and accessories, Clics offer limitless creative possibilities. Some sets include wheels and decorative panels, but these are the primary extras available. However, Clics sets typically contain a substantial number of pieces, allowing you to create intricate designs using just one set.
