sakol. building creativity with wood and velcro

Sakol_collage

The French phrase Ca colle means it sticks. And that is exactly the principle of Sakol, the revolutionary creating and contruction toy made by the Swiss company ACTIVE PEOPLE, specializing in cutting-edge motion and skill toys.

Sakol consists of only five geometric basic forms but its potential is far greater than that, of a building toy or construction set. All pieces are made of wood and velcro. It is this combination of materials that creates the thrill of the game. All its bricks can be combined with ease and in any way while even with just a few pieces certain figures can be created. Only four pieces make a stroller, six form a man, seven a motor-scooter. Frogs, fish, houses, fir trees or even a see-saw with two men can be built. The tactile feel of the smooth wood against the furry Velcro and the sharp ripping sound of building, allow your child to acquire new perceptions from their exciting play experience.

I cannot wait to play with this toy. Sakol comes in set of 20 pieces or set of 50 pieces.
