Children’s furniture & play sculpture
This summer a new item was launched with a nod to the classic Charles & Ray Eames sculptural toy sold through the Vitra group. Now from Plan Toys is an elephant that can actually ‘walk’. This is not your ordinary push scooter toy - children will learn how to make the Walking Elephant move forward by rocking side to side. The item is constructed of natural plywood with sturdy handles for safety and navigation.
Children can role play that they are riding an elephant and exploring the jungle. The vendor states that this type of play will enhance their balance, motor skills, and coordination.
Designed for ages three and up.
When the kids outgrow their Barbar stories they may be ready to learn about the importance of saving elephants at risk through the groups like Save the Elephants. The group has been instrumental in helping to revitalize African elephant populations, while at the same time, increasing awareness in the many issues which threaten to erode elephant populations and the habitats in which they live.
They have programs in four countries that include a tracking system using GPS and Google technology.
