Toys
for the youngest occupy a special place in our collection. Their design
requires the highest care: beautiful soft lines, pure colours, wood of the best
quality. They should give the child joy from touching, throwing, rolling and
listening to its rattle, removing parts, placing them inside; the first most
important activities in life.
Natural
warm and velvet softness of wood felt through live colours perfectly meet the
child’s need for tenderness. Wooden toys for the youngest are a beautiful, wise
and direct connection between hands of the carer participating in the play and
the earliest gestures of the child. Paint with protein binder, proportions of
the elements and quality of execution guarantee safety.
Wooden
toys in this group give the child the possibility of playing with
“arbitrariness”. Arbitrariness comes from natural properties of the material.
Wood requires stylisation skills from the designer. A black ball stands for a
ladybird’s dot, the aerodynamic red shape on four wheels may be a speeding car.
This type of toys does not portrait but rather symbolises the world around us.
It appeals to the child’s imagination directly. It emphasises the need of naming
things and communicating with the environment. It develops language skills and
capacity for abstract thinking in children.
1. Infant toys
This group of toys, dedicated for children aged 1+ is inspired by the world of animals. Horses, frogs, ducks, dogs or our favourite ladybird talking about movement and playing in nature. It perfectly meets the needs resulting from the natural sensitivity of the child.
Symbolism
of wooden shapes of toys directly addresses the child’s imagination. It
develops language skills and intentional communicating with the environment.
The
highest care in manufacturing the toys and the quality of used materials
guarantee safety. This has been confirmed with European attestation by TUV
Rheinland and SGS.
The
shapes of 3D trees, animals and funny shoes on wheels are emphasised with
drilled openings. These toys are easy to handle, turn and freely operate.
Threading colourful laces allows “drawing” of various patterns. These toys
naturally develop simultaneously manual and creative skills.
·
3D trees are comfortably held in hand.
·
Funny shoes promise self-reliance.
Lacing
toys “invite” to exercise fingers.
Educational potential of
BAJO toys develops along with the growing child. The child discovers new
playing possibilities all by its own. He/she may surprisingly quickly progress
in becoming acquainted with the surrounding world.
Education
wooden toys naturally introduce the basic directions of teaching in playing:
A
very numerous group of toys, which introduces the common traffic, speed and
mobility in the world of play. Stylised, colourful, in various shapes and
sizes, these cars are not to imitate cars from the world of adults. They refer
directly to the child’s imagination and develop spatial orientation, the sense
of direction and distance.
The
collection of large and small, very colourful vehicles, includes::
Vehicles
are also structures. The train is a moving brick puzzle.
A
huge garage and parking lot may be built for the cars.
4. Role playing (“The world of adults”)
...developing by modelling...
Modelling
after adults is the oldest game in the world.
Children
form the most conservative communities. They have always been taking care of
dolls, building houses, working in carpentry workshops, transporting various
goods in carts, teaching at school and galloping on horseback.
Dolls
need various types of prams, so we have a pushchair and a sport pram.
Our
cradle may be converted into a bed by using funny balls
The
house may have an additional storey. The roof structure provides a comfortable
apartment in the attic for the dolls.
Rocking
horses have special grips to allow galloping for very small riders.
5. Interior
...elements of education and aesthetic
simplicity...
We
have used small hangers not as a functional decoration item in the child room,
but as a precisely made toy.
A
road filled with cars, sailing ships, horses on a meadow, teddy bears and dolls
in colourful clothes, may accompany gloves, scarves, rucksacks and other bits
and pieces.
Playing
gives a special place for these items.
When
the king takes care of a scarf, no one will need to look for it.
Funny
height measures are also toys.
