Creative play was inherent with this toy. I loved hearing my son share stories about each of his creations. I liked the size, colors, and open play options.

Children, when working in a group, had to communicate effectively and collaborate to create their piece. I liked that there were no use instructions--children were able to explore without ideas. My daughter said, these are better than Legos because you get to be creative. Legos tell you what to build. I also liked that there were directions for how to repackage the Brackitz so they fit in the box for storage.

Students were able to practice making various polygons as well as mazes. Students explored different structures and determined which structures were sturdiest. Brackitz has so many creative uses. It encouraged students to work together to create.
