Games Minimalist: Machi of Kukkia

I have no children, but I am a fan of games, especially with natural materials and a basic idea which can give free rein to the imagination.

The toy Machi is simple, smooth by the Japanese brand Kukkia (in Finnish means flower), literally room for creativity. The goal is to entertain and at the same time to stimulate visually children with the shapes in bright colors and vivid shapes and fascinating from touch.

There are 15 beautiful pieces of each series, in which a child can arrange to their liking, to create, change and reinvent a city of dreams by plaques on the surface of two magnets. The 15 pieces of wood (birch) have a car, two traffic lights, the construction of three buildings and two mountains. Two versions are available in addition to the "original" London or Paris. The first includes the Big Ben, the British Museum, the London Eye, a double-decker bus and a black taxi. The version in Paris, the Eiffel tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the subway system in miniature.

For the future architects and designers!
