Nest-Building
Fostering Child Development Through Self-Built Spaces
For children aged 5 to 8, this project responds to the universal childhood desire to build personal spaces—a need rooted in independence, imagination, and spatial exploration.
Nest-Building is a modular construction toy system that encourages children to design, build, and personalize their own hideouts, promoting creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. Unlike traditional static playhouses, this product offers a dynamic, reconfigurable experience. It fosters a deeper sense of autonomy and imaginative play, transforming everyday environments into opportunities for discovery and self-expression.
