Creatto™ is a simple yet versatile building system that consists of just two primary components that can be woven together into countless 3D creations.

The durable and flexible plastic tiles interlock quickly and easily for all skill levels; no additional materials or hardware required.

Each Creatto kit includes assembly instructions for four different configurations, but the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Add strings of coloured LED lights to illuminate your works of art from the inside out.

• Promotes creativity and individuality

• Develops fine motor skills

• Encourages self-expression

• Building instructions are language independent; just follow the visual steps to learn how the Creatto system works - and how easy it is to use!

• The same two types of building components are in all Creatto kits; combine pieces from different kits to build colourful, unique creations!

• Step-by-step building videos available online

The Cut-and-Build Stonehenge Kit includes everything you need to recreate the archeological wonder in all it's glory.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England which was built by a culture with no written records. This makes the reason Stonehenge was built and how it was constructed still debated to this day. The now ruinous monument is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The arrangement of Stonehenge consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones (each weighing around 25 tons!) which are topped by horizontal lintel stones. There is a smaller ring of bluestones inside the outer ring followed by free stranding trilithons.
