Goki Wooden Building Bricks Nature, 200 pieces

200 building blocks made of untreated beech wood have received the renowned people's prize "The Golden Rocking Horse" as "Toy of the Year 2013" in the category "For artists and architects". The jury consisting of parents, children, educators and toy experts chose the toy as the winner after the readers of the magazine "Familie & Co." had previously voted it one of the best toys of the year.

"It is quite astounding how many completely different structures can be made using the building blocks which all have the same dimensions," says Sonja Prüter, product developer at Gollnest & Kiesel, clearly delighted by the prestigious award. "The building blocks promote the children's creativity and imagination in particular due to the greatly reduced design and the complete absence of colours."

Thousands of new toys are launched annually. Every year, the readers of the magazine "Familie & Co." select the "Toy of the Year" from this huge number. "The Golden Rocking Horse" is Europe's most important people's award for toys. The award is presented annually by Family Media and the German Toy Industry Association.
