Clics Roller Box – Crafts

Some Clics sets come in so-called roller box – a plastic chest with wheels you can later use to storage the pieces. This small set also have some less-common arch-like parts. This photo shows some of the smallest roller box set Clics crafts.

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.

Donjon

The Donjon is a main tower of a medieval castle, usually located inside the fortress walls. The magnets in the Geomag constructor are strong and the panels hold well, so you can install soldiers on the roof. The roof of the donjon can be made in different styles – stone, wooden, straw, but we built a classic one – wooden.
