Thames & Kosmos Creatto Northern Lights Polar Bear & Winter Pals Light-Up 3D Puzzle Kit – 41 Pieces, 20 LED Lights, Ages 8+
The Thames & Kosmos Creatto Northern Lights Polar Bear & Winter Pals Light-Up 3D Puzzle Kit lets you build four glowing winter models: a polar bear, a baby seal, a snowflake, and a snowboarding polar bear. The kit includes 41 Creatto tiles and a string of 20 LED lights to make your creations shine. Designed for ages 8 and up, it requires 2 AA batteries (not included).
How the Creatto System Works
Creatto uses just two types of flexible, durable plastic tiles that interlock without any glue, screws, or tools. You weave the tiles together in different patterns to form 3D shapes. The visual instructions are language-independent, so you follow the steps by looking at pictures. Online step-by-step videos are also available for each model in the kit.
What You Can Build and Display
This kit includes instructions for four creations: a polar bear, a baby seal, a snowflake, and a snowboarding polar bear. Once built, the models double as illuminated decorations—string the LED lights through them and place them in your room. The Creatto tiles can be disassembled and reassembled into new shapes, so the building possibilities are endless.

Common Questions About the Creatto Northern Lights Kit
Are batteries included?
No. You need to supply two AA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types.
Can I build only the four models shown?
The instruction booklet covers those four, but because the tiles are reusable, you can take them apart and create your own designs. The system is designed for endless possibilities.
Is this kit safe for young children?
The kit is recommended for ages 8 and up. It includes a long cord that poses a strangulation hazard, so it is not suitable for children under 3 years. Use indoors only.
Do the LED lights require any special setup?
The lights come on a string that you weave through your creation. The battery pack is separate; just insert the batteries and turn them on. No soldering or wiring is needed.
