About This

• MONTESSORI INSPIRED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL EXPLORATION THROUGH OPEN ENDED DESIGN WORK – The PlanToys Wooden Build A Face Set allows children to explore emotions, expressions and human features through calm, hands on play. As they assemble faces, rearrange details and experiment with different combinations, children build awareness of emotions and begin expressing how feelings can shift, change and look different from person to person.
• SUPPORTS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, EMPATHY AND SELF AWARENESS – By creating faces with joyful, surprised, calm or thoughtful expressions, children begin to understand their own feelings and the emotions of others. This process nurtures empathy, recognition of subtle differences in expression and the ability to communicate inner experiences in a visual, meaningful way.
• DEVELOPS FINE MOTOR CONTROL, SPATIAL ORGANIZATION AND COORDINATED HAND MOVEMENT – Each piece placed onto the face board strengthens finger precision, hand eye coordination and intentional movement. Children learn to rotate shapes, position pieces carefully and align features with balance, supporting early writing readiness and practical life coordination.
• INVITES CREATIVITY, STORYTELLING AND OPEN ENDED CHARACTER BUILDING – The variety of facial features encourages imaginative play as children create new characters, invent personalities and tell stories behind each expression. This expressive freedom supports language development, communication skills and emotional expression through playful creativity.
• ECO FRIENDLY MATERIALS AND SAFE, CHILD CENTERED DESIGN – Crafted from sustainably sourced wood with non toxic pigments and water based dyes, the set reflects PlanToys commitment to safe and environmentally responsible craftsmanship. Its smooth texture, durable build and warm natural finish create a calming, sensory rich experience for everyday play.
