No idea said the deer with no eyes ! Sorry not helpful i know

[Guest]

I got all excited that someone had replied so quickly then! Ha!

How do they join together - magnets or popper type things??? Never seen them before.

[Guest]

They're poppers - I have been calling them 'popper blocks' - very imaginative! But I wanted to google for a photo to go on the label (as I'm not in the setting now) and no idea what to search for!

 

They're great - the children love making people and robots with them

Nope, definitely not popoids

We have these - they are called Clic

[Stargrower]

Ah, Sue beat me to it. It is called Clic and it's great. Yes, they're wooden blocks that "Clic" together with poppers. There's lots of problem solving involved in getting the right bits of popper to connect. It's quite hard for the littlest ones to actually manipulate though.

 

Sorry, nobody asked for a review did they...

[mundia]

Yup, 'clic' from me too.

[MegaMum]

Where do you buy them? I can only find plastic clics.

[SueJ]

I can't get the link to work but this is the website - they are somewhat expensive - having said that I got my set 11 years ago and they are still going strong.

I dug ours out of the back of the cupboard last year. The staff all looked at them and asked where I'd got them from - they had no idea we had them and they've all been there years! :rolleyes:

I know that scenario too, but it does annoy me as it means they either forget or don't think to source other items from the cupboard even when they help to tidy it !

My first week there I watched them set up and they were like little robots, bless them, the same things went out in the same places every day! No thought as to why, or that they could actually change things round. That's why they had no idea what was in there - they didn't ever look!
