PicassoTiles 108-Piece Building Chips Interlocking Disc Blocks STEM Toy for Ages 3+ (PTF108)
This 108-piece building chip set from PicassoTiles lets kids aged 3 and up snap together colorful interlocking discs with eight connection points each. Designed for open-ended construction, it supports STEM learning through play by encouraging problem-solving, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. The set includes 12 vibrant colors and an Ideabook with project ideas to spark creativity.
What makes these building chips different from standard blocks?
Each chip has eight spatial entryways that allow for flexible connections from multiple angles. Unlike traditional stacking blocks, these interlocking discs let kids build in any direction—flat, curved, or vertical—creating free-form designs that boost spatial awareness and engineering thinking.

How does this set encourage STEM learning?
Building with interlocking chips requires planning, pattern recognition, and fine motor control—skills central to science, technology, engineering, and math. The included Ideabook offers project ideas that teach basic engineering concepts, such as symmetry and balance, while the hands-on assembly strengthens hand-eye coordination. Kids experiment with cause and effect as they connect pieces, learning to adjust their designs when something doesn't fit.
What age group is this suitable for?
The set is recommended for children age 3 and older. Because the chips are small, they pose a choking hazard for younger toddlers. With adult supervision, preschoolers can start with simple flat patterns, while older kids can tackle complex 3D structures. The open-ended nature means the toy grows with the child.
Safety and materials
PicassoTiles uses BPA-free and non-toxic materials for these chips. All pieces have smooth edges to prevent scratches during play. The plastic is durable enough for repeated assembly and disassembly. As with any small-part toy, adult supervision is advised to ensure pieces are not swallowed.
