Educational Concept
Ultrasonic glasses, monkears and a pair of cork plugs is all you need to start exploring the world.
Ultrasonic glasses are transparent and very light. When you wear them you can see everything around you in great detail. Sometimes, if you squint, stuff that looked pretty tiny turns big and what at first sight looked hard turns soft like cream or elastic like gum. Well, well, well, looks like with ultrasonic glasses you can discover a new world that has actually always been there but looks a bit stanger than usual.
Monkears, as its name suggests, are shaped as monkey ears. Luckily they are also see-through. Otherwise we would crack up every time we put them on and see ourselves looking like that. Monkears are also very important cause they allow us to hear very, very well. That way we can listen to a story, or music or something that our buddy tells us or the teacher. All this comes through our ears and rolls up and down inside our body.
To stop all this interior traffic, up and down, down and up, cork plugs are extremely handy. You can’t see them either but when you put them on, everything turns silence. All the fuzz, all the noises and voices disappear and you can slowly start feeling the beat of your heart. Softly at first, and then slowly harder and harder...you start feeling your toes, your tongue, your hair...Your whole body and ideas agree and then… action starts!
