Sticks & Strings

Sticks & Strings is a set of toys composed by wooden sticks with minimal interventions such as slots, holes or other cuts and strings of different lengths.

The basic shapes can interact together and let children imagine their own world (a family, a boat, a train, a snake, a crazy dog, some cars of course, and much more).
