Introduce young builders to organic construction and social emotional expression with the curved shapes of toddler STEM toy Grippies® Curves. Inspired by shapes found in nature, the colorful curved rods with secure magnetic ends encourage magnetic and tactile exploration through patterning and 3D construction. With cute faces on the over-molded metal ball connectors, toddlers can create expressive characters or expand their builds. The tactile, soft touch pieces make Grippies Curves easy to hold as young children practice their dramatic narrative and building skills. To care for Grippies, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap and allow to air dry completely before continued use. To prevent damage, do not completely submerge in water or put any Grippies pieces in a dishwasher or washing machine unit. Available in 20 or 30 piece sets Age:18 months+
