About the project
Puzzleware is wearable puzzles; a creative and playful learning toolkit that gets kids involved in making clothes. Puzzleware’s specifically designed tactile toolkit is lovely to touch, made entirely with natural, 100% biodegradable materials and promotes transferable, life-long skills such as dexterity, creative and 3D thinking, leading to an understanding of how stuff is made and where things come from.
Inspired by early learning theories by Froebel and Montessori, and responding to fast, throwaway fashion and the lack of craft education in schools, Maija Nygren founded Almaborealis and developed a method that introduces children aged 4-12 to become active participants in the creation of their own clothing.
