Birds & Eggs is a unique toy kit designed by Hakan Gürsu that allows children to unleash their creativity by creating various birds using different stylized body pieces. With its interchangeable parts and limitless possibilities, this toy offers an engaging and educational play experience for children above the age of 5.

The Birds & Eggs toy set consists of head, neck, body, wing, tail, and feet pieces, offering a comprehensive selection to build different bird types. With 24 characteristic bird heads, including duck, owl, parrot, and pelican, children can mix and match the pieces to create their own unique bird designs. The parts are designed to be easily interchangeable, enabling children to explore and experiment with different combinations, resulting in thousands of bird variations.

Whether children choose to replicate real bird species or let their imagination run wild, Birds & Eggs provides a simple and intuitive play experience. The toy encourages children to build creatures and transform them easily, fostering their abstraction and 3D thinking/shaping abilities. Additionally, the vibrant colors of the design enhance visual education, making the toy visually appealing and engaging.

One of the standout features of Birds & Eggs is its classification according to size. The toy offers seven different sizes, and each bird fits into a correspondingly sized egg. This unique feature allows children to carry their birds in the eggs, enabling portable play anywhere they go.

Designed with both entertainment and learning in mind, Birds & Eggs aims to have a long lifespan. The toy not only provides endless creative possibilities but also enhances children's hand skills and promotes their understanding of living animals. By engaging with the toy, children develop their abstraction skills, 3D thinking, and hand-eye coordination.

Furthermore, Birds & Eggs is produced from recyclable plastics, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The toy is also washable and meets international safety standards, ensuring a hygienic and safe play experience for children.
