About Habitat 교육용 블록 장난감
해비타트(Habitat)는 미취학 아동을 위해 제작된 교육용 블록 장난감 세트입니다. 이 블록은 기후 변화가 생태계를 어떻게 훼손하는지 보여주며, 생태 보호에 대한 인식을 어릴 때부터 길러줍니다. 녹아내리는 빙하와 벌목된 숲, 두 가지 배경이 포함되어 있습니다. 아이들은 문제점을 찾아내고 환경을 복원하며 동물들을 원래의 서식지로 돌려보냅니다. 블록은 코르크 껍질로 만들어져 생산 과정에서 나무를 베지 않습니다. 코르크는 정전기가 발생하지 않고 먼지가 잘 붙지 않습니다. 형태와 색상의 점진적 변화는 정해진 답이 없는 자유로운 쌓기 놀이를 가능하게 합니다.
