I am super chuffed to say we have won a 3rd Australian good design award . This time for the Nüdel Pod… huge gratitude goes to all the amazing people who have added their skills and talents to get us here..

Nüdel Pod is a game-changer offering powerful benefits. Empowering children to become the toy maker rather than the toy user, allowing them to create a limitless array of customised toys based on their interests and eliminating the need for other toys, creating a clutter-free yet highly engaging en...

Latest project shared with us by Jules Karatamba Mucyo from Kigali, Rwanda.

From Jules: I'm a visual artist who tried to expand my knowledge about engaging myself in building playground equipments. I'm planning on building more, but also adding some toys which the kids may play with them in an open space. This project was about recycling art whereby I chose to use many tyres for the sake of saving nature in making playground equipments. I have no organization, but I dream to have it in the future as well as i will continue to expand this project and getting some sponsors to work together, thank you Playground Ideas.

Super chuffed to have the Nudel Kart at the Australian Open kids tennis day today as a creative and open-ended challenge for children in between the intensity of the tennis.  Come down and join us if you’re looking for something fun in the holidays between now and 4 pm. Rod Laver Arena.

As we head into Christmas this is some critical food for thought about getting the best outcomes for our children. 🤔

“Many parents of young kids may feel pressure to fill their homes with toys, especially this time of year. But after researching the topic with her team at the University of Toledo, Metz, an occupational therapy professor, learned that having fewer toys doesn’t just make parents less crazy. It’s better for kids, too.
The Post spoke with experts on childhood development to understand how play helps children become more creative and flexible, and learn important skills such as problem-solving and collaboration. One of the takeaways is that having fewer toys around leads to deeper engagement with each of them, which promotes creative thinking”

That’s why I developed the pod. I think everyone is seeking more calm, connected, clutter – free creativity for and with their children.

‘Tis the season to buy toys. But research shows that less is more, for sustainability, and for kids’ play.
