A 10 years old child owns on average 238 toys… And often plays with 12 of them. This amount of forgotten toys, on top of taking space in the room and mind of the child, pollutes immensely. We noticed that a lot of those toys were gifted.

‘Surprise Surprise’ is an ephemeral toy line. With a playful use, it puts experiment at the core of the gift.

Packaging and toys work together to create a memorable experience, based on a small science experiment. They project bubbles, float or burst with colors. For now the collection is made out of a soap powered boat, a bubble rocket and a foam volcano.

Once the toy is used, it can be thrown away for they are made in recycled materials that vanish after use. If the child really liked the experiment, instructions can be found to recreate it himself.
