Clipo is a building set by Playskool, that breaks the mold of “blocks”. Rather than simple square shapes that resemble bricks, the Clipo play pieces are a variety of shapes that are covered with pegs. The pegs fit in between one another and the pieces lock together. Younger children can mash the shapes together haphazardly to create organic structures, and older children can create more complex figures either using their imagination, following the structures on the sides of the bucket or using the included guide that comes with the set.
