Who doesn’t love toys? If you’ve ever set foot in the Nogginwerks office then you are likely well aware that we work inside a giant misfit toy chest. Perhaps it has caused you to ponder from time to time what your life would have been like had you been born a strange Japanese plush toy instead of the fabulous Nogginwerks client/freelancer/FedEx man that you are. Perhaps that strange rainbow afro dog with the bee in his bonnet causes you to question everything you thought you knew about yourself and maybe that’s why you don’t visit Linda’s office anymore. Perhaps we’ve gotten off track.
We love toys (obV) and when we’re not busy swimming in our sea of degenerate knick-knacks or thinking up just-so-crazy-they-might-actually-work ideas for business we also dig doing some more conventional good. Helping kids is cool. We like doing that when we can (refer to Smart Ideas sidebar). So, naturally, when we saw the winner of the Design21 Game Changers toy design competition we thought it worth mentioning.
It’s called the be-B and it teaches kids Braille (both blind and sighted). It also looks pretty cool and we imagine it could work for the old and sighted as well. There are a few runners-up and about 20 more entries on the Design21 website, if’n you feel like checking it out.
