This is a beautifully designed quality toy, suitable to give as a very special gift, such as a "welcome baby" present or even a unique housewarming gift.
Mapa Casa is based on the traditional idea of family; Mum, Dad and child. Not only do the figures come in different sizes, they also represent different races (white, black. and yellow races).
Japanese Designer, Shuhei Tominaga explains that the people are "in a large house, all playing together hand in hand, which is based on world peace and love. Human-shaped pieces are designed and combined with triangle, square, and circle shapes. Compose creatively with these human-shaped pieces. Large and small pieces can combine together as one large art piece. A steel ball is located inside each piece, which gives the joy of sound."
"Mapa Casa can be used as a baby's' rattle, building blocks, balancing game, dominoes, a game of marbles (golf/soccer), make-believe games, and noughts and crosses. You can also decorate the room or entrance as your family interior."
