Sea Creatures Building Blocks

　　

　

The motifs of living creatures include:
These are things familiar to Japan, a country surrounded by the sea.

　

Horse mackerel, tuna, sea bream, whale...there are large fish, small fish, and even fish that normally end up on our dinner tables.

Big fish receive the lives of small fish. We also receive the blessings of the sea. And the sea water that nurtures life is made clean and rich by the power of the trees in the forest.

We have created fun building blocks using Japanese wood to represent this connection between life, and between the forest and the sea.

Comes with a pamphlet about the creatures and how to play with them.

You can feel the connection to the earth.

　

The motif of sea creatures was designed by picture book author Sugiyama Kanayo.
The wood used for the building blocks is Japanese wood such as cherry and magnolia.
The "tai" (tai) is made using cherry blossoms and contains pieces of "kaki" (oyster).
We have also included games that you can discover someday as you learn about the ecology of living creatures.

Tips on how to play　

There are endless ways to play! Enjoy it with your imagination!
Let's try it with [Sea Creatures Blocks]

Because playing with building blocks of various animals is simple, you can enjoy it for a long time. You will notice that the smell and texture differ depending on the type of wood used. You can also separate animals by type, use different sizes for parents and children, and enjoy playing with dolls. Line up animals of different shapes and stack them up. The ways to play are endless.

　

For children who have fewer opportunities to come into contact with nature, touching various types of wood and feeling their colors, grain, texture, weight and scent is said to help develop the five senses, so we carefully make each block, checking repeatedly with our fingers for splinters so that children can play to their heart's content with peace of mind. Even blocks of the same shape have a myriad of different personalities, such as "hard or soft," "heavy or light," and "fragrant." We create our blocks while imagining children playing with their five senses free.

　

Brand: Oak Village
(Oak Village)

More than 67% of Japan's land area is covered by forests.
Give your precious child a toy that allows them to absorb the wonders of Japan's forests with all five senses.
We use the skills of our craftsmen to create new things.

Safe and secure wooden toys

Oak Village is a woodworking studio in Takayama, Gifu, founded in 1974.
Oak Village operates with the concept of "a tree that takes 100 years to grow should be usable for 100 years," and creates products that can last and be used for the same amount of time that it took for the trees to grow.

All of our products are made using domestic solid wood and other materials, and are carefully finished by craftsmen using natural oils, lacquers, and other paints to bring out the individuality of the wood.

Based on the idea that "for every tree we receive from the mountains, we should give back one," he also founded the NPO "Acorn Association," which is dedicated to forestation and reforestation activities and is active throughout Japan.
