Why we LOVE this product!
Plus-Plus is one of our favorite open-ended building toys, and this set gives it a Hanukkah theme: kids build their own menorah and dreidel, then keep creating. It is an easy, affordable gift for one of the eight nights.
Two things to weigh: 240 pieces is a small set for big builders, and the tiny pieces scatter, so the tube is worth using.
Description
SKU:
PLS030
The Plus-Plus Hanukkah Play Set is a tube of 240 Plus-Plus building pieces in Hanukkah colors. Kids follow the instructions to build a menorah, a dreidel, a Star of David and other holiday models, then use the same pieces for their own designs.
What's inside
- 240 Plus-Plus pieces
- Instructions for a menorah, dreidel, Star of David and other holiday builds
- A reusable storage tube (2 x 2 x 11 inches)
How it works
Plus-Plus pieces are identical double-plus shapes that click together flat or in 3D. Once the guided builds are done, the pieces become an open-ended building set that can be rebuilt again and again.
What kids learn

- Spatial thinking: turning flat mosaics into 3D shapes
- Creativity: inventing new holiday designs

About
Fat Brain Toys
Fat Brain Toys was founded in 2002 by husband-and-wife team Mark and Karen Carson in Elkhorn, Nebraska. The idea grew out of a search for more toys to complement a magnetic construction set their son Adam received for his tenth birthday. Finding the selection online limited, the family saw an opportunity to help parents discover a wider variety of interesting, thoughtfully designed toys.
What began as a small home-based business grew into an established toy company with its own range of products, alongside toys selected from other innovative makers. Fat Brain Toys developed a reputation for offering alternatives to conventional mass-market toys, with an emphasis on products that encourage children to explore, experiment, build, and solve problems.
The company's philosophy centers on the idea that play can be both enjoyable and enriching. Its collection spans everything from early-learning toys and sensory playthings to construction sets, puzzles, and challenging games. Family involvement has remained part of its story, with the next generation contributing to product design and innovation.
Fat Brain Toys aims to make discovering great toys easier for families while encouraging children to develop curiosity, creativity, and confidence through play.
