The rainbow is one of the most versatile wooden toys since it can be used to stack, fit together, build... You can start using it very early and as the game evolves, you will find more and more possibilities.
In Montessori Pedagogy it is used to classify colours and sizes. The rainbow is a self-correcting element, this means that you will tend to place it in the correct place through the trial-error method, favouring such important characteristics as independence and self-esteem.
In Waldorf Pedagogy the rainbow is associated with Goethe's colour theory. His 1810 book constitutes essential reference material for understanding the variables of the colour phenomenon and its application.
The arch is one of the most stable constructions that exist, essential in Architecture because it is the only structure that supports itself.
In Nature we can find it forming the vault of a cave, or it appears spontaneously through a rock collapse. In its concave shape you can find valleys and depressions, like a river basin.
Disclaimer: We don't want to surprise you. The toys are made from wood and wood is organic. Just as each tree is unique, so is each piece. What makes the wood interesting is the "flaws" it contains. For this reason, wood is not discarded for natural characteristics, and the flaws do not effect the structural integrity of the pieces. We hope you love the wood as much as we do.
About Ocamora
Ocamora are Gregorio and Laura, together who have a workshop of design and manufacture handmade wooden toys. They use wood from sustainable forests, and the paints and oils they apply are ecological and vegetable-based, so their toys are 100% chemical and toxic free.
Ocamora toys have no instructions, they are designed to let the imagination run wild... They allow the smaller, not so small, to explore, play and learn, in a natural way. To discover the touch or the smell of the wood, the sensations that contribute the natural elements, should be an option within reach of all boys and girls.
Each piece is cut, sanded and treated with much affection and enthusiasm, in a cottage on the outskirts of Cordoba (Andalusia), in a workshop surrounded by nature, orchards, bird song and children's laughter.
