Scaffer is a new toy from Sawdust & Rainbows that is made from precisely cut birch plywood that has cut-out pieces that interlock. The STEAM toy for kids provides a fully safety-tested system that offers the freedom to build without the need for special tools or fasteners.
Thanks to the nature of the toy, it encourages open-ended play and kids can build what they want, solving problems along the way to realize their visions. With four panel sizes, kids can make their own crate-style structures that include doors, windows, a roof and even battlements for castle-inspired play. Each panel has ergonomically shaped hand grips for kids, so that the process of sliding and tilting one board into another is easy and rewarding.
