Tuminy

This item is currently out of stock. We plan to ship orders sequentially from early October.

Tuminy is a toy for repeated play in which building blocks become a truck's cargo. Drop cargo (blocks) in through the top of the garage, then back the empty truck all the way inside — when it comes back out, the truck bed is loaded with cargo. Unload the cargo and back the truck in again, and this time it comes out carrying a different color of cargo. Once the garage is empty of blocks, just drop more in from the top, back the truck in, and drive out again — you can play this way over and over.

－　Features　－

• The mysterious trick of the truck coming out loaded with cargo after backing into the garage sparks your child's wish to "try it again." Playing this way repeatedly helps build manual dexterity and an understanding of cause and effect.
• The truck can be moved forward, backward, left, and right, making it great practice for bigger movements of the wrist and arm, not just the fingertips.
• Adding extra trucks lets you expand the play to carrying cargo with several trucks at once.
• Tuminy's blocks and truck are painted with paint that meets Germany's strict safety standards. Everything is also manufactured in-house, so it's a toy you can trust and enjoy for a long time.

－　About Our Originals　－

Tuminy is an original toy planned and designed entirely in-house by Comomg. We are grateful that it has been very well received, but we have also seen products that imitate its structure and design. For lasting peace of mind, please purchase genuine items only through Comomg's official website or authorized retailers.

－　Development Story　－

Tuminy's development began with a simple wish: to create "a toy you could play with again and again." In fact, we didn't start out with the idea of a "truck" or "blocks" at all — all we had was the structure of "putting something in from the top, and taking it out from the bottom." We tried dropping in round balls, tried a mechanism for pulling things out by hand from underneath, and for a while we wandered through plenty of trial and error.

Over about a year of building and discarding prototypes, we arrived at the form it has today — letting a block play the role of "the thing put in from the top," and a truck play the role of "the thing that takes it out." That led to a happy side effect too: beyond simple repeat play, it naturally grew into pretend play with the truck and blocks together, and into building play where the blocks are stacked up.
