Rainbow Nesting Arch Blue (6pc) by OCAMORA

Ocamora Nesting Arch Blue(6pcs).

The nesting arch is one of the most versatile wooden toys as it serves to stack, fit, and build. You can start using it early and as the game evolves, you will find more and more possibilities.

In the Montessori Pedagogy it is used to classify colors and sizes. The nesting arch is a self-correcting element, which means that you will tend to place it in the right place using the trial-error method, favoring such important characteristics as independence and self-esteem.

In Waldorf Pedagogy the nesting arch is associated with Goethe's color theory. His 1810 book is an essential reference material for understanding the variables of the color 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 they appear spontaneously by a rock collapse. In its concave form you can find valleys and depressions, such as the basin of a river.

BRAND

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 children.

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.
