Adapting Toy is an innovative modular toy for children between 3 and 6, to develop their creativity, fine motor skills and also their social behavior inside a group. The goal is similar to Lego, Matador and Geomac, to achieve a high diversity of construction possibilities.
This kind of adaptable play is possible to assemble 4 different building modules together.
The first is a ball with 14 special-indentations to connect the second ones, the longitudinally adjustable rods and the third is a wheel. Integrated neodymium magnets make it possbile to interlink the rods with the two others. All of them are covered with a soft elastic skin with concerted positioned velcro fasteners which allows docking of cover modules, and so to dress and to add color on the new formed toy.
