2 Touch
In the time of smartphones, social media and the constant accessibility of the Internet, humans lack of intimacy and touch.
The most touched object is the touch–screen and not a human being. Nowadays, touch is easily confused as a sexual approach and not as a gesture of kindness and empathy.
Touch is crucial for baby’s development. It improves our immune system, mood and reduces stress. Within a touch we feel love, trust, affection and wellbeing. By touching someone, we not only feel the person but ourselves. We are able to connect with our feelings, desires, needs and the whole body.
The goal of “2 touch” is to playfully learn, develop and explore the feeling of touching and being touched.
The different abstract shapes and natural materials offer a variety of touch experience, which is guided by play cards that give instructions and exercises around the body and the touching tools, for the parent and the child.
