Aurora Craft
Children’s toys are usually used for a short period of time. Depending on the material used, some toys pass along from child to child, or are modified in order to cover a larger age group. Nevertheless, at some point they become obsolete.
The Aurora Craft is a recyclable cardboard lodge for children.
The cardboard used is recycled and does not contain chemical substances.
It is designed and produced in Greece, with domestic materials, and is certified by ELOT with CE, for its safety. It has a door and many openings for ventilation and playing.
It helps children cultivate their kinetic dexterities and cultivate their creativity by painting it, creating their personal «corner».
It is easily recycled, while the packaging is also used as one of the five componets of Aurora Craft, in order to minimise the useless material.
