The concept is the creation of a system of toys and game generators produced by a single and simple gesture. A bending caterpillar shaped structural system supports a variety of typical playground toys such as swings made of reused truck tyres, seesaws and climbing nets. As this system unfolds it creates enclosed or open areas which encourage other types of activity rest and play. Different materials and textures on the ground help to enhance childrens' curiosity and activate a more natural approach to play.
