MAY 2019
The Meramec Valley library in St.Louis has commissioned Toboggan to imagine and create two experiences for the new children’s discovery areas. The first interactive is a “story wall’” where children use Playbloks with words or illustrations on them, to complete or reimagine a nursery rhyme. The second experience is a construction area where Playbloks are used as playful bricks to build simple walls and structures.
MARCH 2019
Children visiting the London Public Library in Ontario can now play with an interactive magnetic wall designed by Toboggan. Colourful foam shapes can be arranged to create an imaginary garden of leafs and giant flowers.
