Veggies

What if a toy can bring adults closer to children? Veggies is a set of toys designed for children between 2 to 5 years old, aiming to stimulate outdoor and group play. The goal is to enhance children's curiosity for exploring nature as well as their ability of socialization with other kids and adults. The standard set has 4 toy vegetables and 2 shovels (one kids-size, one adult-size) with 3 different interchangeable heads. Veggies stands out for promoting suitable and engaging play for children at a very wide and non-conventional range of age and not reinforcing gender stereotypes.

Pram

A toy that doubles as two was our inspiration for creating our Kinderfeets Pram and Walker. Dutch designed and retro inspired. Made of birch wood and the sides are painted beautifully in soft white. Both a baby walker and pram, it’s the perfect walker to get babies comfortable taking their first steps. As baby perfects the trade of walking, you can easily remove the purple pegs, turning it into a pram.

Airwood

Airwood is an assembly drone kit designed for children and adults. The four-axis drone uses a frame made of composite basswood board, cut into thin two-millimeter pieces by a laser cutter. Users assemble the wood boards and the electronic parts by hand to build both the drone and the remote control. Modular controllers, motors and batteries allow several frames and appearances to be created from one set. The drone supports indoor hovering, aerial photography and graphical programming. The certified wood reduces the use of plastic and metal.

ASD Children Educational Kit

Saturday, 29 August 2026

Dwarfs

Dwarfs is an educational kit for children with autism spectrum disorder aged six to twelve who study in ordinary schools. The kit consists of an Emoboard and small blocks called Emobjects. A social worker guides the play. The child looks at an Emobject, touches it and places it on the Emoboard, which then plays a sound linked to a negative emotion. The child guesses the emotion and checks the answer cards, then selects another Emobject that soothes it. Sight, touch and hearing are used to support emotion expression and control and to encourage communication.
