Assembling marionette - TOŠA®
Toša® an unusual puppet
Toša® is not an ordinary puppet! In addition, Toša® is not only an ordinary toy!
Its most remarkable feature is the fact that it is distributed and sold in a “disassembled"
form together with detailed and rich illustrated instructions for assembly. It is the first
puppet that the child does not buy but wakes to the life. Unlike many new-fashioned and
transitory plastic prefabricated items, whose depersonalized single-purpose construction
often suppresses creativity and imagination of a child, the Toša puppet is an exact opposite
to it. Its concept enables the child to experience the whole beautiful process of
construction and a "birth" of the toy.
The child may actively participate in a really exciting "production“ of the toy.
A sophisticated concept enables virtually everyone to assemble the puppet step by
step from its individual parts, regardless of manual skills, age and previous experience.
The Toša® has been developing and properly testing for three years: almost two thousand
of its prototypes have gone through hands of children of different age and social groups.
The development team has cooperated with schools, kindergartens and special schools very
closely. It gave rise to a product that not only pleases as a suitable gift, but it also
proves as an educational facility, for example, in the institutions designed for people
with disabilities.
The process of puppet birth is the magic moment which helps to give a new sense for terms
"family" and "parenthood" in today’s hurried time. A collective production, participation
in final completion of the puppet and joy arising from playing with the assembled toy
restore the communication between parents and a child and contribute to develop child's
psychic and motor aspects. And they, of course, bring joy!
The Toša® puppet matches all required hygienic standards
and is certified by the ITC. Toša is an internationally patented business name.
