What is Ugokuburok?
The "UGOKU BLOCK" is a freely assembled block kit that combines the "DiaBlock(R)" sold by Kawada Corporation, which has been carefully selected to create a shape that is gentle to the hand and easy to assemble and remove, with the knowledge of "kurikit" by Yucai Kogaku, which is involved in robotics projects for children such as robot contests for elementary school students. The DiaBlock(R) is a block kit that can be freely assembled and moved.
This is a gentle block kit that even beginners can easily put on, take off, and move. The joy of seeing something you have shaped move as you wish and the surprise of unexpected movement will unintentionally arouse your curiosity. The ability to play with them over and over again helps nurture creativity and the ability to think. The price range that makes it easy to start playing with blocks is another appealing point.
Features of Ugoku block
Just plug it in and it's ready to go!
Simply connect the battery case, the block with the built-in motor, and the switch with a cord, and you are ready to go.
When you flip the switch, the blocks start to move. You can create your own unique shape by combining blocks and eye stickers.
Round and gentle shape
It features a rounded shape that prevents hand and finger injury. The gaps created by the rounded shape make it easy to attach and detach the blocks, allowing the user to concentrate on play.
Expanding play
You can easily challenge yourself to create large works of art using two motors and many blocks. You can also enjoy various ways of playing, such as battles and races with your friends. Being able to create your own ways to play is also a fun way to learn.
bucket used for carrying buckets
The lid of the original bucket can also be turned inside out to create a play space. The bucket is designed to easily hold blocks scattered on the floor, making cleanup a part of play. From playing to cleaning up, the bucket can be used in a variety of convenient and fun ways.
