Growing toy for your growing boy

friendimal_1

The Friendimal is conceptually quite nice. Most kids emotionally outgrow their toys, which is fine; but it’s a shame when kids outgrow their toys physically. The Friendimal is a toy that expands and grows with your child. Designed to cater to children from ages 3 to 8, the Friendimal is a whale-shaped riding toy with a back platform that can be raised to accommodate for a growing child’s height. The toy then begins to form a long-lasting emotional bond with the child, rather than being a temporary fad for the little child to use and then cast away.

Cooking Starts In The Garden

It would be so easy to have your own vegetable patch to source fresh veggies and herbs from. There are two main obstacles though: lack of space and lack of a green thumb. To solve these two issues we have here the “Little Helper’ a cultivation pot with a combining app. The idea behind it is to help us grow and harvest our own vegetables and eat healthier (think GMO and Pesticides). I quite agree!

‘Little Helper’ is a 2014 Top 35 Shortlisted Entry for the Electrolux Design Lab Competition.

Biking Buddy

The Growing Kidzbike is a cycle that literally ‘grows’ as your child grows. We all know that once those training wheels are off, kids tend to shoot up like tall trees. This bicycle takes into consideration the growing years and is there for your baby right from when they are 115cm to 155cm height!

What makes the design interesting is that it grows aesthetically as well. The wheels grow from size 20” to 24” and the front and rear wheel-set are changeable with quick release. The drive and brake mounted on the frame and the three-part Ultramid injection mold frame is lightweight.

Specs include: monolink fork and back swing, small pack size, integrated steering system, slide-able seatpost, implemented computer and lights.

Simple Home Horticulture

Inside each avocado is a large seed that you can plant to grow a brand new tree! The Avocado Sprouter serves as the perfect platform for the unique rooting process. It’s crucial that the bottom 1/4th of the seed is held underwater for weeks in order for roots to sprout, so the design ensures the seed is suspended perfectly each time. After you see roots grow, you can transfer it to a pot or outdoors for your own home-grown houseplant and eventually a fruiting tree!
