3 toys for Kinder Surpirse and Kinder Joy
Professor: Francesco Zurlo
Type: group
Year: 2025
Owly – messenger owl
Owly is a small messenger owl that carries paper notes using a sticky material under its feet to grip letters while moving from point A to B.
The temporary grip introduces a playful tension: children must deliver the message quickly, as the note can drop unpredictably during the journey.
Fairy Mix – customizable fairy
Fairy Mix is a modular fairy figure that allows children to personalise wings, dress, and accessories, offering up to eight different visual combinations.
The toy encourages narrative play, letting children build their own fairy character and reconfigure it as their stories evolve.
Squirrel & Tree Hollow – animal and habitat
The third toy is a realistic squirrel that comes with its own hollow-tree house, reinforcing the link between animal and habitat.
The squirrel can insert its head into the hollow, creating a simple hide-and-seek interaction that supports tactile, imaginative play.
