Sometimes a toy doesn't need a theme, a story or a set of instructions, just a big, satisfying tube of every colour you can think of and two hundred and forty pieces to click together however you fancy. A rainbow, a house, a face, a spinning top, something unidentifiable that your child insists is a dragon, all equally valid, all equally absorbing, and this particular toy has been quietly doing its job since the eighties without changing a single thing.

We love it because:

  • Eight proper rainbow colours in one tube. Red, orange, yellow, white, apple green, turquoise, purple and blue. Bright, cheerful and genuinely lovely to tip out onto the table.
  • No instructions, no set design, no right or wrong. Just pieces and imagination, which turns out to be a very powerful combination.
  • Works flat (patterns, pictures, pixel art) or in 3D (creatures, buildings, whatever comes next). Children tend to discover both entirely on their own.
  • 240 pieces is a generous amount. Enough to build something really satisfying, enough to start over and make something completely different.
  • Plus-Plus has barely changed since it launched in the 1980s because the shape simply works. One piece, infinite possibilities, and that click when they connect is very pleasing indeed.
  • Durable, high quality and free from endocrine-disrupting substances.

What's in the box:

  • 240 Plus-Plus pieces in red, orange, yellow, white, apple green, turquoise, purple and blue
  • Sturdy clear tube with carry loop
  • No set instructions (open-ended free play)

Great for:

  • Ages 5 and up
  • A brilliant gift for a child who loves colour, building, or just needs something genuinely absorbing
  • Quiet time, rainy days, and the long stretch of afternoon that needs filling
  • Building creativity, concentration and fine motor skills without it feeling like anything other than play
  • Mixing with other Plus-Plus tubes to expand the collection (they all work together beautifully)
