Korko is a Portuguese brand that makes natural cork toys: light, soft and quiet pieces for building, stacking and sharpening aim without knocks or noise. Logopedicum stocks all four of its games.
Korko cork toys for building and target games
The cork building blocks are a set of 40 pieces in different shapes for raising towers, bridges and figures. Because they are soft and light, a tower that topples makes no noise and hurts no one, which is a real plus in the classroom and the therapy room.
The other three are target games. The Little Skittles set and the Little Putters mini golf build hand-eye coordination and control of force when throwing or hitting. The Champions Set is a pétanque-style ball game that sets up just as well in the living room as in the garden or on the beach.
Why cork
Cork is the bark of the cork oak, and the cork Korko uses comes from Portuguese forests. It weighs little, feels pleasant to the touch and does not mark floors or furniture. Care is simple: store it somewhere dry, wipe it with a damp cloth and do not leave it for hours in the sun or wet.
