Architectural Toy
TypeE(Education), TypeC(Cabin)
Let's get started
Architecture Game!
Architecture Game!
TypeE and TypeC are
free creation kits of the "cacapo".
Children can learn about
architecture through play!
TypeE(Education) is an architectural toy that allows children to create anything from a geometric shape to a structure they can fit inside.
It's a dynamic way to bring their imagination to life!
Type C(Cabin) is a kit that allows children to create several formes of triangular roof cabin and other shapes. The number of parts is a bit different from TypeE.
Design the interior and create your own space to your liking!
TYPEE
TYPE E (education)Let's play with architecture by free creation!
Cacapo Type E is a toy that combines paper tubes and joints to get children interested in architecture by physical way.
They can learn the areas of art and architecture, which are emphasised in STEAM education, while playing.
The 'A' in STEAM education stands for Art and Architecture
STEAM education is a key concept in modern education, comprising Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics.
In particular, the 'A' in this philosophy is the whole idea of Art, such as Design, Architecture, Liberal Arts , which is considered to be the basis of all elements of STEAM.
And it is said to be an area that opens up great possibilities for children.
Skills to be acquired
+Mathematical ability+
From geometric shapes to solids, and from solids to buildings of a size that children can fit into! They will learn mathematical skills through experience.
+Physical Skills+
By playing with their own bodies, children develop a sense of human scale and distance from others.
+Communication skills+
Bigger and more complex! Children will need to communicate with other people. And also they create a story together.
+The power of art and design+
Children develop the artistic skills by discovering new shapes and transforming our perspectives. They think about how they spend their time inside and learn how to design their uses.
+Concentration+
It's a simple system, it's one image after another, children can concentrate for a long time!

TYPEC
TypeC(Cabin) Cabin kit with triangular roof
Type C is a kit for making a structure of a triangular roofed cabin by combining paper tubes and joints. The length of the paper tubes are the same as Type E, and the type of joints is the same, but the number of combinations is different. You can make your own roof and walls with cloth or cardboard, and make your own hut as an introduction to TypeE.
Design the roof and walls！
Type C has a simple framework, so children can think about the shape and materials of the walls and roof, thinking about how you would like to spend your time inside and what you would like to put inside. Experience the architecture and start your interior design lesson!
Variety of shapes!
Vertical or horizontal, small huts or huts with odd shaped roofs, there are many variations in shape.
This is an introduction to playing with architecture.
Combine with TypeE for more complexity!
When combined with Type E, a full-fledged architectural toy, you can create even larger and more complex structures.
