Hexlet

December 2011

Hexlet is a toy that introduces children to a world of color and inventive creation. The modular blocks and four different tracks allow for a limitless amount of diverse play and marble fall systems.

Hexlets is a design aimed at the importance of child development. Using a modular and buildable block system a child would develop their fine motor skills and promote social play. The colors and track system would stimulate pattern recognition  and creative problem solving.

Color families are used to subtly indicate types of blocks,
cool colors - two way tracks
warm colors- three way tracks

Each block face is also embedded with magnets that allows an easy coupling of tracks as well as multiple starting points encouraging dynamic systems.

Hexlets are crafted from locally sourced FSC certified beech wood and colored with non toxic paints
