The 'Rice Husk Village' modular toy game is a sustainable pastime for youngsters designed to make use of waste materials without losing sight of aesthetic needs. The game consists of small houses and trees constructed out of discarded rice husks, which has been colored with natural ingredients to make them eye-catching but also compostable. Players must stack the play pieces onto a wooden balance board to create a small town or village, but must work diligently to prevent it from tipping over.
The 'Rice Husk Village' modular toy game is the design work of Subin Cho for children aged two to four and is suitable for being placed in a compost after use where it will break down in just 100-days.
