carosello. Revolving gently or standing still, Carosello is both a construction set and a platform for children to invent and stage stories or construct moving sculptural forms. Children can take apart and put together the brightly colored wood dowels, bobbins, balls, and bendable Mylar to create a changing world where, straight lines become curves, colors bend, and stories unfold. The impulse to construct, to take apart, and to build again is universal among young children. These products support this active approach to learning with a series of high-quality block sets that invite children to explore, to invent, to represent, to redesign, and to test their theories about the physical, social, and immaginative worlds.
