“Fun Products to Stimulate Your Creativity”
The Creative Whack Company produces award-winning products that stimulate the creative imagination.
Best known for its popular Ball of Whacks, Creative Whack Company offers a line of magnetic building sets that were inspired by the idea that “ a playful attitude is fundamental to creative thinking.” The term “whack” connotes something that sparks us to think differently.
The Ball of Whacks is made up of 30 magnetic pyramid pieces that fit together to form a 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron (it’s easier to make than it is say!) 180 rare earth magnets help the pieces click together to form the Ball or any shape you can imagine.
There are no right or wrong ways to use the BOW. Just pick it up and play with it.
The Ball of Whacks comes with a 96-page creativity guidebook to help “whack open” your creativity. The BOW is available in Red, Blue, or Multi-colored, which offers the additional puzzle challenge of putting the Ball together with no two same-colored sides touching.
The X-Ball presents 30 red X-Shaped pieces governed the “golden ratio.” The Y-Ball has 30 blue double Y magnetic pieces that form a fun, soccer-ball shape. The pieces in all these products can be configured into lots of interesting shapes. Combining pieces of Ball of Whacks, Y-Ball, and X-Ball open up endless creative possibilities.
These products also come with an illustrated guidebook with exercises and strategies for unlocking your creative potential.
The latest product from CWC is the Star-Ball. This geometric gem will both challenge and delight you. Take the Star-Ball challenge: Use the polarity dots to combine the five-legged stars with the “tri” pieces to form the Ball.
