Featuring magnetic blocks and a diverse palette of materials, Booca is a hybrid toy car and puzzle board game teaching kids about the world around them. Whether it’s Barbie’s controversial approach to diversity or a round-up of “woke” playthings that champion gender inclusivity, toy design is an area of design we will always return to. Why? Because toys are the tools that children use to understand their environment.

That said, another interesting and product-led scheme from this brand (even if its just a graphic).
