Gumbek
Gumbek is a didactic plush toy that stimulates creativity and encourages the development of fine motor skills through play. This modular toy comes in parts and kids have to assemble their own toy by connecting the parts together in order to create a whole. There are seven different segments; three larger ones and four smaller ones. The pieces are attached to one another by threading the buttons through the buttonholes, which helps to improve fine motor skills, Also, the arrangement of different shapes helps to develop imagination and creativity as the toy can be put together in different ways.
