Hexabits and Puzzibits -

what are they? If you are a visual learner you must go to
their
website, it is one of the best toy websites I've seen.
If you would rather learn by reading, just continue...

The people at kidestore.co.uk have the best
explanation. "Hexabits and Puzzibits are made from soft
100% RECYCLED plastic and are 6 sided , hexagonal
shaped , plastic building pieces that are pliable and
virtually indestructible. Using a patented interlocking
design (peg to loop weaving method) you can build
almost anything you can think of in 2D and even 3D
designs. They are simple to play with and great fun and
they can inspire the most creative of children. The
possibilities are endless.

Puzzibits and Hexabits provide long lasting fun and have
the added benefit of educational value too. They can
really provide a source of imagination and creativity..
For younger children they can not only build with
Puzzibits and Hexabits but also learn colours, count with
them , build and match patterns etc and older ones can
also learn maths facts and really push their creative
skills.They are wonderfully tactile and develop fine motor
skills and dexterity.

Great fun and quite frankly "addictive" as once you start
you'll not want to stop."

We had these at the Center for Creative Play--I had
trouble putting them together--but none of the kids did.
Some of them would play with them for hours. I love how
tactile they are. Since we used them over and over
again, we had volunteers take them apart each night.
They do NOT easy disassemble. Once your child makes
a great piece of art, you might want to keep it awhile,
before pulling it all apart. : )

By the way, there is no difference from Hexabits and
Puzzibits, one is sold to the education market and the
other sold to the retail market. All different types of kits
and buckets of pieces can be found on the letkidsplay
website. Many of the kits are under $10--although the
bucket of 1250 pieces is $160 (I would pass personally).
The prices go all over the place, so watch which kit you
are buying and what company is selling it. However, with
the high play value and the low cost of most of the kits,
these make great birthday gifts. Hexabits also promotes
$5 kits as either a goody bag item for a party or an
activity at a party.
