Mogumogu Box

Mogumogu Box for 1 year olds and up

From late infancy to around 1 year old, there are big changes in the development of the fingers. They will be able to grasp, pinch, and then move objects from their grasp to their fingertips, and even pick them up. At this age, we recommend toys that have simple, gentle sounds. The Mogu Mogu Box makes gentle sounds of wood touching wood. It is a recommended toy that will attract children's interest.

For your 1st birthday [Mogu Mogu Box]

At the age of one, babies can hold and release objects smoothly. They can grasp, release, and switch hands. The simple hand movements of taking things out of and putting things back into a box become playful and promote development. At this age, the simple "Mogu Mogu Box" is great for hand development. The faces on the lid are a bear and a frog.

How to play

Give the bear some food. Once you've put everything in, turn the lid upside down and the frog will eat. Mom and I can play together while talking to our children.

When a baby turns one year old, even if they can't grasp it and put it in the box, they may just squeeze and play with one of the parts. This is very important in the developmental process. First of all, we make sure that the parts are the size that is easy to grasp.

The number of parts has also been carefully considered. The reason we limited it to 10 is to make sure children can play with it without getting bored. If there are too many parts, it becomes difficult for them to feel a sense of accomplishment.

From the age of 1, children's hands become more active and they are able to perform fine movements such as pinching, moving objects from the right hand to the left hand, and pinching. The Mogumogu Box, which can be played with using simple movements such as pinching and releasing, will help support the development of a 1-year-old.

Something visible disappears when placed in the hole.
It may be a simple task, but for children it is a mysterious and engrossing game.

Linking with everyday life

At around the age of 2, when your child begins to assert themselves, the Mogumogu Box can also be used as a house-cooking toy. Once your child begins to recognize rice balls, bread, sausages, and other items as food, you can start playing house with them.

You can choose to have the Nakayoshi Library logo on one side and your name printed on the other side.

About product processing

From materials to production, everything is done in-house, and every process is carefully and meticulously finished by hand. Our toy craftsmen put their heart into finishing each toy, just like it would be their child's first toy.

The materials used are hardwoods such as cherry, zelkova, and horse chestnut. We aim to make them sturdy and solid. Furthermore, we do not use any coloring, so the color is all natural. This allows us to express such a wide range of shades of wood, making them a toy that can be enjoyed by touch, scent, and even the eyes.

We purchase 70-150 year old hardwood trees from the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, and then dry them for over a year. After that, the wood is further dried naturally, and the surface is finally scraped off to reveal the beautiful, fine grain and pure white wood surface. Each piece is handcrafted, going through over 10 detailed steps, and is carefully assembled until the very end. Finally, it is painted over a 48 hour period, and then it is complete.

These wooden toys enrich children's play and development. Made in Japan, they are carefully handcrafted by craftsmen, and are made with care so that even after the children no longer use them, they can be used for a long time by their children's children and grandchildren.
