The UNESCO Creativity Workshop is an innovative design workshop taking place this year in Turin, Italy from 15 to 28 October.
For two weeks, 20 participants will live and work together in close contact with children with special needs to develop new toys that encourage play and also fulfill therapeutic goals.
The most interesting toy prototypes will be exhibited and refined for an easy and affordable "do-it-yourself" manual to be used by parents and care providers.

Here is another example: Polpo (octopus in Italian) made from bicycle tire tubes and some water-bottles (the eyes are made with the bottom of the bottles and some black buttons) each tentacle provided a different sensorial experience. hot/cold sound, smell etc.
