Soliga | HERZSTÜCK
Plug-in cube

The Soliga peg cube is an educationally valuable toy that particularly promotes children’s motor skills and creativity. It impresses with its natural design based on Montessori pedagogy and the harmless, CE-certified colors, which are formulated on a water basis and are therefore particularly environmentally friendly . The solid beech wood ensures high stability and durability, while the recycled cardboard scores highly in terms of sustainability. The modern and muted colors make the peg cube a timeless toy that is not only fun but also appeals to children’s senses.
