Imagination-Required Playthings

The Ferra Magnetic Toy Wins at International Toy Competition

I’m totally an advocate for toys that encourages an active imagination such as the Ferra magnetic toy. Designed by Kelly Harrigan for the first ever international toy competition held by toy manufacturer Naef Spielzeug, it placed first.

Charged to design a toy made of wood for the ages of 3-99, the criteria was broad. But the Ferra magnetic toy is just that, a wooden plaything for anyone and everyone.
