About Habitat 教育用ブロック玩具
Habitatは、就学前の子どもたちのために作られた教育用ブロック玩具のセットです。このブロックは、気候変動が生態系にどのような損害を与えるのかを示し、環境保護への意識を幼い頃から育みます。融解する氷河と伐採された森林という2つの舞台が用意されています。子どもたちは問題を見つけ、環境を再生し、動物たちをそれぞれの生息地へと戻します。ブロックはコルク樹皮から作られているため、生産のために樹木が伐採されることはありません。コルクは静電気を帯びにくく、ほこりが付きにくい素材です。形状と色のグラデーションにより、自由な発想での積み上げ遊びが可能になります。
