Cleversticks
Thank you for visiting the Cleversticks Web Site.
The Cleversticks construction Toy is a British Invention, currently manufactured in the UK at Mountain Ash in South Wales.
Cleversticks is an educational toy with great play value. Sample artwork is supplied, but the most important models are the ones your children design themselves during play. The large number of components help to give children maximum scope to express their creative ideas.
The Cleversticks construction system has been supplied to Schools through educational catalogues for over 25 years.
The Starter range has been designed with young children in mind and most of the components are standardised parts with the addition of a simple wheel where the parts easily fit together using hubs that slide onto a round pin giving a friction grip.
The Advanced range has been designed for older children; again most of the components are standardised parts with the addition of a complex wheel and tyre assembly. The wheel uses a stub axle, which is engaged in a bearing and held in place with a spring clip inserted into a groove, a scaled down version of components actually used in industry (This may be the first time a circlip has been used in a construction toy) This requires a level of skill and dexterity found in children around the age of 7 years.Both ranges are available in two types of pack. The economy pack is supplied in a recyclable plastic bag to reduce unnecessary packing.The Presentation pack is supplied in a Really useful box to store the Cleversticks when not in use. The models shown are examples and may need components from more than one pack. As Cleversticks contains small parts creating a risk of choking it is unsuitable for children under 3 years of age.
