About Habitat Educatief speelgoedblokje
Habitat is een set educatieve speelgoedblokjes ontworpen voor kleuters. De blokjes tonen hoe klimaatverandering ecosystemen aantast en stimuleren al op jonge leeftijd bewustzijn voor ecologische bescherming. Er zijn twee omgevingen inbegrepen: een smeltende gletsjer en een ontboste bos. Kinderen ontdekken de problemen, herbouwen de omgeving en brengen de dieren terug naar hun leefgebied. De blokjes zijn gemaakt van kurkschors, waardoor er geen bomen worden gekapt voor de productie. Kurk is antistatisch en stofwerend. Verlopen in vorm en kleur maken open-eindige stapelmogelijkheden mogelijk.
