Build to Play
A painting tool to help children reconnect with nature
How does it work?
Build to Play is an unstructured painting tool that connects children to nature. This tool has no limits or boundaries. Children are free to use their imagination and explore endless painting possibilities.
Why is it needed?
Many studies have emphasized the value of the physical and psychological benefits of outdoor play for children’s development. However, with the fast pace of urbanization, children today are spending less time outdoors than any other generation.
How does it improve life?
When children are outside and surrounded by nature, they experience an environment that stimulates all the senses. Children should have the freedom to explore and naturally develop an appreciation for the natural environment.
