Holiday Gift Guide: Brackitz - Review





Break free from an era where play is driven mainly by technology. Brackitz: an award-winning construction toy system produced in the USA. These newly evolved blocks helps lay the foundation for high-level cognitive thinking, reasoning and problem solving that kids will continue to benefit from long after childhood. Standard sets include interlocking 4-inch wooden planks, and 90° and 120° angle connectors, which can be pieced together to form a wide variety of models and architectural structures.

What makes Brackitz different?

Educational – Brackitz proudly promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) techniques for young children to learn as they get older. Perfect for classroom use too!

Affordable – Choose from sets including 50, 100 and 200 pieces, with prices ranging from $29.95 - $99.95.

Build Up AND Out – Brackitz can be used to construct innumerable creations; the one-of-a-kind connectors can interlock at different angles and directions and allow children to build circles, corners and bendable masterpieces.

Durable - While traditional stacking blocks collapse under pressure, Brackitz allow children to build structures as big as they are without falling over. You can even move them around the house and your pets can roam free without causing a falling mess.

Safe - Brackitz have been tested and are compliant with the Consumer Product Safety Commission for ages 3+.

Brackitz sparks the idea of innovation and the opportunity to engage in creativity with trial and error. The connecting system allows kids (3+) to instantly build strong and durable masterpieces. Brackitz has proudly won Brain Toy from Academics Choice, Toy Man eChoice, STEM Toy Award, and Creative Child Toy of the Year.

Our Thoughts

My kids, like other kids, love to build things.  They have blocks and LEGOS and other building items but they don't have anything really that they can use to build with Miss K. Until now! 

I know, they are safe for ages 3+ but when you have older siblings, when do the younger ones not get into their stuff?
Brackitz is more than acceptable for even Miss K to play with as long as she has adult supervision. The great thing is that these are wooden and plastic pieces that can be added to with other kits (for reasonable prices!) from Brackitz. With these the possibilities are endless! 

Brackitz just isn't for my little kiddos, my oldest son who is eleven enjoys these just as much as his siblings! The only negative I have found is that I never have nearly enough Brackitz to go around for the kids to build what they want. Brackitz has made the top of all the Christmas lists in our house!

They look interesting. My kids are too old for these, but I'll keep them in mind for gifts.

My kids always loved building toys. These look pretty cool.

This product might be a bit to young for my nieces. This is perfect for the place I am intending to give this to -or- the way this will benefit is equally valued in so many ways! And I intend to share this link with many other's around me! Thanks so much!! computertech2you@live.com

Those look really fun. They stay together better than blocks, and make something bigger than Legos.

I like that having fun building also promotes math and engineering.
