Driven by the desire to enhance the arts within “STEAM Education” we created toys connecting with cultural heritage, encouraging storytelling, improvisation and creative play.

"Birds of Cyprus" informs young children about species found in Cyprus, with the use of traditional quatrain poems. While children (4+) assemble the birds based on a blueprint, they strengthen their perception of 3d space.

"Spanos and the 40 Dragons" inspired by a folk story of the same name, enables children (8+) to learn about vernacular tales, while discovering the natural abilities of light and shadows.
