About MekongToys®
MekongToys® Cambodia produces wooden toys by physically handicapped people, using almost entirely residual, chemical-free wood.
MekongToys® design dates back to the evolution of the first toy-manufactures in Europe, in particular Germany, at the end of the 19th century. Its pedagogic principles are based on the spirit of Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel (1782 – 1852), founder of the “Kindergarten”. Brought up in Germany’s heartland – Thüringen, the evangelic church and Lutheran Christian faith were pillars in his own early education.
Children have unique needs and potentials. Exploring their world they develop ideas, creativity, fantasy, fine-motor skills and sensibility. Children’s self-directed play advances self-confidence, self-sufficiency and helps to develop social skills and character. Through play they become well equipped for life. They develop as intelligent academics, creative engineers, vivid artists or at least loving parents to play with their own little ones one day.
MekongToys® provides several necessary educational play materials, including geometric building blocks and pattern activity blocks. All objects are mostly natural. The design has been kept modest, to leave the utmost room for individual creativity. The colors we use are the ones given by nature – a composition of bright yellows and reds to dark blacks and browns of varying shades- of which we take pride in creating the most attractive designs.
MekongToys® is a nonpartisan, secular workshop based in Phnom Penh. Its revenue supports a Cambodian NGO of handicapped Cambodians, mostly victims to polio or landmines.
