A quiet click, a pressed-in piece, and a mosaic starts to grow.

🖐️ Stronger fingers from pressing together 20mm x 12mm pieces, the same pinch grip used to hold a pencil
🎨 Colour play with 240 pieces in basic colours for pixel-style pictures, patterns and mosaics
🧱 3D builds because each plus-shaped piece lies flat for pictures or turns to build upward
🔁 Endless rebuilds as pieces pull apart for a fresh start, and it adds to any other Plus-Plus set
🌿 Safe materials that are BPA-free and phthalate-free, made in Denmark in a zero-plastic-waste factory
🤫 Quiet play with soft clicks, indoors at the table, alone or with a sibling

The Educator's Note

Every piece is one small shape that needs a real pinch and press to join, so each build is practice for pencil grip and scissor control without feeling like practice.
The same piece makes flat mosaics and 3D models, so the set grows with a child from copying patterns at 5 to planning original structures later.
It joins with the whole Plus-Plus range, so a family can start here and add pieces over time rather than replace the toy when ideas get bigger.

Press one piece into the next and a colourful pattern begins. Each 20mm x 12mm piece needs a deliberate pinch and push, which works the same finger muscles used to hold a pencil. Made for ages 5 and up, when children can follow a design or invent their own and stay with it. Flat mosaics suit the early stage, and the same pieces stretch into 3D models as planning skills grow.

Also available in a great value bundle

This set suits children who like to make something they can look at and then change.

A 5 to 6 year old building fine motor control, who enjoys filling in patterns and simple pixel pictures at the table
A 7 to 8 year old ready to plan ahead, copy a design or invent a 3D model with a clear idea in mind
Siblings or friends aged 5 and up who want to build one mosaic together, each adding their own section
A family who already owns a Plus-Plus set and wants more pieces and colours for bigger builds

One shape, built hundreds of ways

Among our building sets, this is one of the simplest: every piece is the same small plus-shaped block that locks into its neighbour. That sameness is what makes it work. There is no special part to hunt for and no plan to follow, so a child decides what the next piece becomes. Lay the pieces flat and you get pixel-style pictures, patterns and mosaics. Turn them to a different angle and the build rises into a 3D model. The click is soft, so it suits a table or floor corner without disturbing anyone nearby.

Where the finger strength comes from

Each piece measures 20mm x 12mm. That is small enough to ask for a proper pinch between thumb and forefinger, and firm enough that the child has to press to join it. Repeat that a few hundred times and you build the pinch strength and fine motor control needed for holding a pencil and cutting with scissors. Sorting colours and planning a row before placing it also builds patience and focus. You will notice children at this age working through a design quietly, then pulling it apart to try a different idea.

Starting point for a growing collection

A single small set can run out of pieces for bigger ideas. With 240 pieces in basic colours, this one suits mosaics and small models well, and larger builds simply need more pieces, such as the Plus-Plus Basic 600 pcs set. Because it joins with any other Plus-Plus set, it works as a first set or an addition to one you already own. The pieces are BPA-free and phthalate-free, made in Denmark in a zero-plastic-waste factory powered by renewable energy. They are for ages 5 and up because the parts are small, and they stay useful as designs get more ambitious.
