THOUGHTFUL PLAY FOR BUSY HANDS
Build It Flat. Build It Tall
Some days my kids make a pattern on the table. Other days they're building something that gets taller and taller until it falls over. I wanted pieces that could do both, without telling them what to make.
WAYS TO PLAY
See What They Can Make
Four simple ways to start. Let their imagination take it from there.
SORT
Sort by Colour
Group pieces by shade or choose a favourite.
MAKE PATTERNS
Repeat a Pattern
Start a sequence, then change it and try again.
BUILD UP
Build in 3D
Connect upward to make structures that stand.
THOUGHTFUL LITTLE DETAILS
Two Shapes. Little Textures to Explore.
Two shapes for flat and 3D building, with raised textures that offer extra sensory input during play.
DOTS TO RUB
Raised dots offer tactile sensory input for little fingers to rub and explore.
A SWIRL TO TRACE
Trace the swirl for gentle sensory input, or use it as a playful reminder to slow down and breathe.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
Why I Designed This
Watching my kids play with LEGO and other building toys, I noticed that keeping their hands busy often helped their minds settle, too. I wanted that open-ended creativity in silicone instead of rigid plastic, with little sensory details to explore, including raised dots to rub and a swirl to trace as a reminder to breathe.
I started with one snowflake shape, but added a second so younger builders could make flat pictures while growing into 3D creations. I even worked with our manufacturer to make the silicone firmer so their designs would hold together better. And I wanted these to be beautiful enough to leave out, with earthy colours and a cotton pouch. I keep a set in my purse all the time!

Good to Know
Questions Parents Ask About Calm Connectors
What's in the pouch, why there are two shapes, how the textures work and all the ways to play.
What ages are Calm Connectors best for?
Calm Connectors are recommended for ages 3+. The pieces are small, so direct adult supervision is required during play at home and on the go.
What's included with Calm Connectors?
Each set contains 75 BPA-free silicone snowflake connectors in two designs and five earthy colours, plus a Mimu & Me cotton drawstring storage pouch.
What are Calm Connectors made from?
Calm Connectors are made from BPA-free silicone rather than rigid building plastic. The silicone was made firmer to help connected creations hold together while children build.
Why are there two different connector shapes?
Because I wanted kids to be able to build more than flat pictures. One shape was limiting, so we added a second. Now they can make patterns on the table, build upwards, take it all apart and try something completely different.
What are the dots and swirls for?
The centre details add tactile texture to the silicone pieces. Children can rub the dots or trace a swirl with a finger; the swirl can also serve as a gentle prompt to take a breath. Some children enjoy this sensory input more than others, and Calm Connectors are toys, not a treatment or guaranteed regulation tool.
How do children play with Calm Connectors?
Connect pieces into flat pictures or 3D builds, sort the five earthy colours, try patterns, take an idea apart and create something new. They are screen-free and open-ended, with no prescribed finished project.
Can we take Calm Connectors to restaurants or on trips?
Yes. The cotton pouch makes it easy to pack the pieces in a purse, travel bag or carry-on for restaurants, appointments, road trips and flights. They contain small parts, so use with direct adult supervision.
How are Calm Connectors different from Calm Links?
Calm Connectors contain 75 small snowflake-style pieces in two designs for textured, detailed 2D and 3D building. Calm Links contain 26 larger ball-and-socket pieces for satisfying press, pop and pull play. The Busy Hands Set combines both.
Are the pieces small?
Yes. The two connector shapes measure approximately 22 × 24.3 mm and 19.7 × 17.3 mm, each about 2.5 mm thick. Because they contain small parts, Calm Connectors are for ages 3+ and require direct adult supervision. Please follow the safety instructions on the packaging.
How does this support age-appropriate play and development?
Calm Connectors are recommended for ages 3+. Children might begin by sorting colours or making simple flat patterns, then explore pictures and three-dimensional builds as their coordination and curiosity develop. This invites hands-on exploration, spatial thinking and problem-solving, without a prescribed result. The small pieces require direct adult supervision.
Ready for Their Next Idea?
Seventy-five silicone pieces, two shapes, and no instructions for what your child has to build. Pack them in the cotton pouch when it's time to head out.
