Have you ever bought something and then realized it wasn’t versatile enough for your child or classroom centers? After a short period of time the toy is outgrown and you’re left looking for something more appropriate. Sound familiar?
This month our Guidecraft Educator’s Team will introduce you to a versatile new product called Texo that will allow for differentiation and versatility.
About Texo
An award-winning construction system, Texo was created by architect, author and designer Lester Walker. Each Texo kit contains solid wood rods and planks as well as sturdy, molded plastic connectors. For ages 3 and up, each Texo kit also includes a deluxe activity guide with step-by-step directions for creating and building.
This high-quality product would make a wonderful addition to your building and construction center and provide many opportunities for creativity and problem solving.
Texo Features

- Activity Guide with step-by-step instructions in case your little builders need some inspiration
Educational Benefits of Texo for Classroom Centers
Just like Magneatos and PowerClix, Texo also supports the development of S.T.E.M. skills at home or in the classroom. I’ve compiled a list of the educational benefits of Texo for you below:
- S.T.E.M. Skills {Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math}
- Construction
- Creativity
- Imagination
- Open-Ended Play
- Fine Motor Skills/ Hand-Eye Coordination
- Problem Solving
As they build bridges, houses and more; Texo inspires children in preschool, kindergarten and beyond to explore the principles of math, construction, and engineering while sparking creativity and imaginative play.
