The Strategy and Delight of Play Me Collections’ Magical Beans
Despite the soft, playful colors and whimsical appearance, Magical Beans are not just for kids. As it says on the smooth sturdy brown box, “creation and curiosity may grow with age”. It is made with the intention to entertain anyone who gets their hands on it. It is a different way to play than the average westerner may be used to, which is exactly what makes this product so fun! Inspired by traditional Taiwanese activities where people practiced placing eggs on their pointed sides during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is an activity based on balance.
The challenge is that each beans center of gravity varies due to their differing shapes and sizes. One must have the patience and skill to find that balance and create new ways to stack them successfully. Work your cognitive skills while at play. These magical beans are now available in the NGCI Store.
