Wednesday, 5 August 2026

B Is For Ball

B Is For Ball is a multifunctional baby toy that adapts to a child from infancy through later childhood. The toy is made of food grade silicone and measures 6.35 centimeters in diameter. A hollow, mushroom shaped body and a detachable weighted lid form a two part interlocking structure. The design serves as a teether, a rolling toy, a stacker and a water play object. Complete drainage and easy cleaning help prevent mold. The simple form supports grip, motor skills, sensory exploration and early learning.

Crabee

Crabee is a learning flotation device for children aged 3 to 9. Crabee is intended to reduce fear of water through interactive play. The modular shell is made of water-resistant foam and includes five rings of different diameters, so the conical body can be adjusted to the size of each child. Children can throw, catch and place the rings on the body. Two periscopes allow a view of the underwater world from the surface. Floating balls add a treasure hunt game. Children of different swimming abilities can play together.

Pocket Ninja

Pocket Ninja is a compact game designed for skill and dexterity training. The game measures 70 millimetres and fits in a pocket, so it can be used at home, in the gym or while travelling. Pocket Ninja arrives unassembled, and players build the game from the supplied pieces and the guide, like a three dimensional puzzle. The shaped grips support an exercise called DYNOs, in which the game is thrown and caught with two fingers while the grip is changed. The game is produced in Italy by injection moulding.

Dudo

Dudo is a modular synthesizer toy designed for children aged four to twelve. Dudo joins sound and light effects so that basic music theory can be learned through play. Five simple modules cover sequencing, wave change, filtering, rhythm and amplification, and nine connection methods allow expanded functions and multiplayer use. The difficulty level can be raised as children grow older. Capacitive sensing triggers drum sounds when the drum module is tapped. Non-toxic plastic is used, and the size follows the ergonomics of children.

Yummy

Yummy is a wooden toy set that offers a restaurant simulation play experience for children. The set contains a teppanyaki plate, a cash register, wooden ingredients and wooden menus. Two or more children can play together, taking the roles of customer and chef. The chef selects ingredients according to the menu, and coloured lights show whether cooking is in progress, complete or overcooked. The customer then gives an evaluation and pays. The play sequence teaches how a restaurant works and supports hands-on, cognitive and social skills.
