A beautifully crafted pattern making kit comprised of three different European woods, namely maple, pear and walnut, the colours of which allow for an orthographically three-dimensional effect when laid correctly — more challenging, perhaps, than it first appears. A myriad of arrangements are possible, and it is an undeniable pleasure to think up new ones. Fitting neatly into, and supplied with, a sliding wooden box, and provided with a few drawings of arrangements to get you started. An heirloom gift to be loved and well looked after. Made in the town of Neuhausen, Saxony near the Czech border and the Ore mountains for Sina Spielzeug of Germany, in an area with a long tradition of wood and toy manufacturing.
This toy has been awarded a 'Spiel Gut' mark, which translates as 'play well' — one of the most important and renowned awards for good and pedagogically valuable children's toys in Germany, given to toys and other children's products that meet strict assessment criteria.
"Good toys support children's development by stimulating their imaginations rather than restricting them, by not disappointing expectations, and by offering varied and continuous play opportunities. In addition, good toys are environmentally friendly, safe and their durability and lifespan correspond to the purpose of the game. spiel gut awarded toys meet these and other criteria."
