The Flying tricycle construction toy

DESIGN: A poetic, minimalistic gem. 

The Flying tricycle is a minimalistic design inspired by Calder's mobiles and Miro's naive and "chilldish" paints. Abstraction hides the sophistication of the design. It is entirely made of wooden pieces that the child puts together without tools or glue, thanks to a variety of wooden joints.

After the construction comes the movement and the joy!

Once the child pulls its red string, the helices start to turn around. A system of hand-made wooden gears transmit the movement of the wheels to the red helices and the adventure begins!

It is an open-ended toy that not only exercises fine motor & cognitive skills but also cultivates patience, experiment and active participation in play.
