Wurm Werkstatt
A construction toy for the development of the fine motor skills and creativity of children.
Wurm Werkstatt is fun: building huts, hiding in it, inventing landscapes, going on new trips every day - all as often as you want. Children experience the relationship between object and space and are encouraged to develop their own ideas and find expression for their fantastic inner world, both cognitively and motorically. Construction-based play can offer a wide range of benefits - creativity, fine motor skills and spatial imagination are thus actively influenced. From soft, lightweight perforated plates and worm-like to spherical connectors, they can build abstract and concrete objects by connecting, stacking, and pinning the individual components. Wurm Werkstatt not only radiate a modern colorful design with a gender-neutral aesthetic, but also combine the most valuable learning content of conventional educational toys: free self-development, maximum play instinct and limitless creative power.
