In a world where children’s toys are frequently produced using cheap plastics, Temporary Toys are designed with sustainability and end of life in mind. The construction set is made of chipboard and aluminum for easy recycling. The play system is cost effective and easily reproduced, making replacing or adding parts to the collection readily accessible.
Shapes are die-cut from chipboard and connectors are cast from aluminum. Both materials are easily recyclable and both can be made from recyclable materials. The materials are cheap, but can be easily replaced. It is not a toy that is meant to be treasured and passed on from generation to generation, but to be temporary.
Packaging is simple and organized. Rather than an afterthought made to transport the toy, Temporary Toy’s package was designed to be kept with the system and help keep pieces well arranged.
The system allows for different shapes to be used together to create a variety of things. The connection points act like joints to make articulated animals or geometric patterns.
