Habitat is a set of educational toy bricks made for preschool children. The bricks show how climate change damages ecosystems and encourage early awareness of ecological protection. Two settings are included: a melting glacier and a deforested forest. Children find the problems, rebuild the environment and return the animals to their habitats. The bricks are made of cork bark, so no trees are cut down for production. Cork is antistatic and resists dust. Gradients of shape and color allow open-ended stacking.
