The Design
About Blocs Intummy Opvoedkundige Leerspeelgoed
Blocs in tummy is geskep om die konsep oor te dra dat almal toegang het tot veilige en voldoende kos. Die hoofdoel is om voorskoolse kinders op te voed oor honger, en te leer om hul bewustheid oor voedseltekorte te deel en te verhoog. Geometriese kosblokke kan onder kinders gedeel word om in die leë maag van die poppe in te vul, gelei deur 'n illustrasieverhaalboek, om die kognisie van kosdeel en kos koester te verbeter.
