Plan Toys MoodBot Montessori Wooden Toy

Children build, twist and pose the robot, learning through direct interaction and emotional expression. Each adjustment requires focus, strength, and intent to make it sit, stand, or change expression. Natural wood and minimal design keep attention on movement and emotional connection.

The rotating head displays a range of moods, helping children link facial expressions to feelings. This builds emotional intelligence – the ability to recognise, express, and manage emotions while understanding others’. By identifying and naming different expressions, children strengthen communication skills and develop empathy, confidence, and social awareness.

MoodBot’s modular body adds a building and problem-solving element. The torso can be flipped upside down to change its shape, and the legs can be removed and reattached on the front to make the robot appear to sit. These interactive features inspire curiosity, logical thinking, and resilience as children experiment with how to make MoodBot stand, sit, or move again.

Learning about emotions through play helps children connect with others and handle social challenges with understanding and care. Empathy and communication are essential life skills, and toys like MoodBot encourage both in a calm, engaging way.

The PlanToys Montessori-Inspired Collection is thoughtfully designed to align with the core principles of the Montessori approach, fostering holistic child development through hands-on learning and exploration. By incorporating geometric foundations, it enhances cognitive and motor skills while encouraging coordination, observation, and problem-solving. Made from natural, eco-friendly materials, these toys promote meaningful, sustainable play and nurture curiosity and independence.

Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, formaldehyde-free glue, organic pigments and water-based dyes.
