Description.

Origami-like, foam-textile folding sheets with coloured surface and studs to fix , for creating folded figures which encourage the children to invent further characters with the help of an attached story-book and folding instruction.

 

Presentation.

The toy consists of 2, coloured folding sheets, a story-book and a folding instruction. On the sheets we have placed more than 110, three-coloured studs and folding lines of different colours and made the sheets firmer by sewing down. A number of three-dimensional figures can be made from the origami-like folding, fixing them by studs. On the surface of the textile sheets, on the areas between the folding lines, we created picture parts by film pressing, two-phase heat-handling method. These pictures contain the life-like lines of the 8 figures, which appear on the surface of them.

A colourful story-book with a colouring section are parts of the toy-set and inspire to build the characters from the folding sheets, making the children motivated to repeat creating and inventing further characters.
