EUGY by Dodoland - Eco-Friendly Model Kits for Kids

Clever New Zealand company Dodoland are the brains behind EUGYs - unique and eco-friendly 3D model kits. EUGY kits are affordable, fun, safe, and educational - all with a spoonful of cuteness.

Even after the fun of assembling these model kits is complete, the resulting animal figurines are super cute and look great on display - especially if you build up a collection - and they also make fantastic toys for imaginative or small world play.

Dodoland - The Company Behind EUGY

Company founder Hoon began the brand as a way to connect people with nature, inspiring us to protect wildlife and the planet with an eco-friendly kids' product. Now, this growing range is available in over 30 countries.

EUGY puzzles are an original invention protected by multiple patents worldwide. They are designed in New Zealand at Dodoland headquarters in the small coastal town of Whangārei, and have won a Red Dot Award for outstanding design quality.

The company gives back through their support of multiple wildlife organisations and other charities that benefit children. Learn more about it here : https://www.eugy.com/giving-back

EUGY Sustainability & Safety

EUGY products are 100% recyclable - made from cardboard and printed with eco-friendly ink. Their packaging is FSC certified, and the company have minimised the use of plastic in their operations.

The products are of course safety tested and comply with multiple toy safety regulations around the world.

Product - What's a EUGY?

Each EUGY pack contains 7 flat cards with individually numbered pieces, ready to assemble using the non-toxic glue provided. The cardboard panels also include fun facts so children can learn about the animal they create.

Depending on the child, EUGYs can be completed independently by children 7 years and older, but younger children will still very much enjoy working together with an adult to make the models.

Learning Benefits of EUGY Model Kits

With each piece numbered, EUGYs help to familiarise children with counting and sequencing. Putting the puzzles together promotes the development of spacial reasoning, concentration and fine-motor skills.

The many animal species (including Aussie animals) represented in this range inspires further learning about wildlife and nature, while the clever use of cardboard provides an opportunity to teach kids about sustainability.

As they enjoy the challenge of crafting these models, children will strengthen their resilience and perseverance, and feel a great sense of achievement upon completion, with the reward of a cute and open-ended animal toy to play with.

In Summary

More than just a fun and educational craft activity, EUGYs are a thoughtfully designed product with a mission. Made with sustainability in mind and a commitment to wildlife conservation, EUGY lets kids build adorable animal models while learning valuable skills and fostering a love for nature. From the first numbered piece to the completed display-worthy model, EUGYs offer a rewarding experience for the whole family.
