Bend-A-Build™ 94-Piece Flexible STEM Construction Toy Set | Open-Ended Building Tubes & Connectors
Unleash endless creativity with the Bend-A-Build™ 94-Piece Set, the ultimate open-ended STEM construction toy for young innovators! Designed to inspire imagination, problem-solving, and hands-on learning, this unique building set encourages children to twist, bend, and connect flexible tubes and colorful connectors into anything they can dream up—from cars and animals to wearable creations and imaginative structures.
Unlike traditional rigid blocks, Bend-A-Build™ introduces children to the concept of flexible engineering, allowing them to experiment with shapes, curves, and motion while developing fine-motor coordination and spatial reasoning. Large, easy-to-grip pieces are perfect for little hands, making this set ideal for preschool and early elementary learners.
Teachers and parents love how this set supports STEM and STEAM learning—encouraging exploration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math through active, hands-on play. The bright colors and engaging textures invite sensory exploration, while the open-ended design promotes collaboration and creative expression in group or solo play.
