As kids grow up, it is important at an early stage to stimulate their imagination, fine motor skills and creativity as much as possible during the day.
Mealtimes are a great opportunity for this, as eating plays an important part in the development of infants.
So long as the right tools are available…
DESIGN
As tableware designers, we watched how our kids ate their food : battling to keep their peas and yoghurt on their forks and spoons, often dropping, or knocking over their plates and bowls onto the floor.
And how do you keep kids occupied at the table?
We often lack the right tools for the job. Tools of function and fun that inspire both kids & parents.
Our challenge was to create a new and unique tableware concept for kids, which let them enjoy eating in a playful manner.
Going beyond just scaling down versions of adult stuff or unimaginative design.
FUN: Universal with popular Brick Toys
The Placematix concept is based on the world’s most popular toy principle; interlocking brick toys.
All Placematix parts are universal with the existing and popular branded toy bricks like Lego® Duplo®* , giving a wide choice in playing possibilities.
FUNCTION: DEVELOPING......
Kids want to explore their creativity and satisfy their curiosity. Fun, challenge and problemsolving are thereby the important starting points.
Placematix Tableware is designed for just that.
It stimulates fine muscle control and early learning-by-playing of the proper skills of eating. Like imagining eating with dolls, with their friends or just as a regular toy to be used with other interlocking brick toys.
FUNCTION: NO MORE DROPPING FOOD ON THE FLOOR
All parts of Placematix can be connected, preventing knocking plates, cups and bowls off the table.
FUCTION: MEALTIME MOMENT
