Real life Construction Toys

Constructables are based on the real world. There are heaps of bridges, buildings and structures that you will see on a daily basis that look just like Constructables. Building with Constructables lets you see structures in a different light.

(NZ Curriculum: Nature of Technology)

By making engineering fun and tangible, Constructables opens kids’ eyes to careers in engineering, architecture, and construction—planting the seed for future interest.

We always need more engineers, and we want to show that engineering is fun!

(NZ Curriculum: Technological practice)

Before anything is built, engineers will go through a design process.

Students will need to think about what is needed, what the requirements are, and what the best way is to put it all together.

(NZ Curriculum: Technological knowledge)

Learn how real-world structures like trusses, bridges, and towers work. Understand load paths, tension vs. compression, and why certain shapes, such as triangles, provide strength.

(NZ Curriculum: Technological knowledge)

 Constructables encourages kids to build and test their own ideas. When a structure fails, they try again—developing resilience, critical thinking, and iterative design skills. 

(NZ Curriculum: Managing self)

Working in groups,  In group play, children must collaborate, assign roles, share ideas, and listen to each other—mirroring real engineering and construction teams.
