Contact and connect heart blocks

Balance Tsumiki "Heart" is a building that combines six hearts and can enjoy both planar play and three-dimensional play.
It is a toy with a wish when children build up together while discovering play by repeating stacking and breaking of blocks of heart repeatedly.
You can play by connecting hearts on the plane from the baby's time or stacking easily, but it is about 3 years old that you can create a complex three-dimensional shape while maintaining a delicate balance.
As you can play in practice you need to have an advanced sense of balance in addition to thinking, the way you play will change as you age.
This beautiful heart shape was created in collaboration with the Odawara craftsman, taking advantage of the short materials coming out of the Cosine workshop.
There is a slit in only one piece, so you can insert cards, photos, etc. The shape of the heart is likely to be appreciated not only for children but also as a gift for important people.
It is a design with no waste created from functions and eco ideas, utilizing short materials that come out in the process of making products.

The story of the birth of "balance block heart" that the designer talks about.

The grandchildren of the three girls were "He loves hearts!" With the thought, "Can you design something with a heart motif?", Development of a heart motif toy has started. So the days of observing the play of the grandchildren continued.
Then my grandchildren were fascinated with play to load and break things. It sounds like I like the sound of breaking up after it's finally piled up.
At this time, he said, "Yes! Let's make a hard-to-stack block with heart."
At the same time, I would like to create a concept that includes "connecting people and moving their minds" to give gifts ". I thought, I put a slit in one of my heart to make a card and put a "message" of "Happy Birthday!" On this slit and give it to me. I designed the "photograph" of to make it a heart.
