KUKO is an original project of wooden toys for children and elderly people who need physiotherapy. The toys improve their imagination, perception, and motor skills. The three collections were inspired by the shape of a circle. The author filled the circles with three groups of figures: farm, forest, and foreign animals. In total, 24 shapes can be created. The user can mix and combine the wooden elements, following the pictograms presented on the packaging. There is also a manual written in plain language. KUKO not only teaches discipline (every component has its assigned space in the box) but it also enhances the process of recognising shapes with touch.
