To me, i‘s always the simplest toys, such as Shadow Play, that are the best ones. If something is too literal, it takes away from a child’s learning process and imagination.
Shadow Play, designed by Richter Spielgeräte, is an outdoor playground installation that, well, plays with shadows. Using common shapes, colors and the ever-present sun, Shadow Play lets the children decide how best to interact with it.
