The Design

About Bavvic Stavebnica

Bavvic je súbor kreatívnych stavebných kociek pre deti. Drevené dieliky sú vyrobené z lokálneho buka, ktorý zostáva pri výrobe nábytku a okien. Senzorické silikónové spojky navzájom spájajú dieliky a umožňujú stavať abstraktné formy. Každý dielik má rozmery 80 x 80 x 7,9 milimetra a každá spojka meria 40 x 40 x 8,4 milimetra. Otvorený dizajn bez pevných pravidiel podporuje kognitívne a motorické zručnosti, priestorovú predstavivosť, riešenie problémov, rozhodovanie a kreatívne myslenie. Bavvic má za cieľ podporovať učenie prostredníctvom praktickej hry pre všetky vekové kategórie.
