Go green with "Horta" - Educational toys for kids

Since we have concerned on global-warming issues, our mind will pursue ideas to fight against the impacts. If not, the global movement due to the issues will remains for nothing!


I'm glad to find creative ideas solve this global problem. Brilliant ideas may come from the experties, but some from the laity. What is brilliant sometimes comes from simple thing as well. That's what I can say when I found an information about educating kids to love horticulture with toys!

HortaIt's about toys made from dusts of sawing activity, which is popularized by Asep Rodiansah and friends - graduated youngsters from IPB (Institut Pertanian Bogor, Indonesia). They name the toys "Horta" - abbreviating "horticultura". Look at the picture! Cute, isn't it? The green hair is growing grass! Kids will love to have it. Along with it, they will ask, "How is it growing?" That is the point of educational approach. Parents can tell them about it and teach them how to save this planet Earth from global warming!

What makes me raise my thumbs up is the idea behind the making of this cute. They spent 6 months of scientific research to bear the cuties. Furthermore the materials are from waste things: used socks and dusts of certain wood as media.

Bravo and congrats, Asep and friends! Keep going! [skd]
