Use the straws and connecters in the box to build geometric shapes, structures, models, crazy creatures... You’re only limited by your imagination.

Fun to play with friends or on your own. Re-Connect is great for team challenges like: who can build the tallest tower, best bridge, biggest Mobius strip, most amazing animal...?

Each kit contains a bumper selection of bendy coloured straws, a variety of connectors that can be used to join the straws together and a range of coloured end pieces.

Re-Connect is available from the Orinoco shop in the Bullingdon Community Centre, Peat Moors Road (off the Slade), Headington, Oxford. OX3 7HS.

The shop is open on Saturdays from 11am to 4pm. Weekday opening times vary so please check by phone or email before visiting.

We’ve only got enough straws to make 200 kits so the first 100 will be £5, the next 50 will be £7.50 and the last 50 will be £10. Hurry along to grab a bargain box at the best price.
