Toy and Therapy
Almost every toy is simplifying reality. Sometimes rather brutally or the total opposite: full of details just downsized to 5% of the original. Just smaller and still complicated. The simple toys boil down reality, easing the first access to a rather complicated world. Not only children need this first simple step to manage our sometimes confusing, environment. Makes it not only simple. It makes it fun. Human nature without fun is possible but rather tragic. Starting with a bit of fun is human and being human is always a good start. Like keeping our environment acceptable for our nature. To waive or replace chemical solutions /products by natural ones seems to be a good idea.
Following points/facts are the base for developing the concept.
a. Natural shapes (plants, animals) well known and significant shapes easy to identify shapes, solid rounded edges or angular
b. The shapes are always based on an natural object
c. The shapes are three dimensional
The Objects do have studs, stings, waves, furrows, joints, cuts, gaps, pockets, notches
