Klutz® Expands Offering Of STEAM-Based Activity Kits With 28 New Product Launches At Toy Fair 2020, Booth #317

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Klutz^®, the award-winning creator of quality, book-based activity kits for kids, introduces their latest STEAM-based activity kits designed to help kids learn through play and develop the ability to problem solve while building creative confidence and having fun.

Among the 28 new products being launched at the show is the latest LEGO^® licensed activity kit, LEGO^® Gear Bots. Using LEGO^® Technic™ bricks, kids learn the fundamentals of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) concepts like chassis, axels, and cams while they build eight wacky sculptures that come to life when kids turn the crank.  

"Our goal in creating our STEAM-based products is to help kids find the fun in what is often seen as intimidating," says Stacy Lellos, President of Klutz,  "Our subversively educational kits help kids build resilience while becoming creative problem-solvers who will develop into the innovators and leaders of the future!"

Klutz empowers kids by giving them quality content and components that guarantee success in creating fun projects they're excited to make. Klutz fosters creativity through lightly guided creative projects in the original Core line for ages 6-12, to Klutz Jr. for ages 4+, to the STEAM-based line Klutz Maker Lab for ages 8-12, and to the latest addition of Klutz "Mini Kits" last year.

Catalogs and samples for review may be found in Klutz' fun-filled, bigger-than-ever Toy Fair booth #317 or by emailing [email protected]
