Toys from Romanswerk
Unique & educationally valuable games
In the Tennengau region of Salzburg near Salzburg in Austria, everything revolves around wood. One of the many woodworking companies is "Romanswerk" - arts and crafts made of wood and metal.
Here, steel, wood and other natural materials are used to make furniture and accessories, as well as games that they develop themselves. The toys are designed by Roman and Nici Ulrich together, following the Montessori and Waldorf pedagogies. The aim is to create high-quality individual pieces that can grow old with their owners.
Regional and sustainable
In the production of the toys, preference is given to regional materials and, as far as possible, no plastic is used. Romanswerk uses natural pigments and oils from the company Kreidezeit for the colouring and after-treatment of felt and wood. In the region, delivery is made personally by cargo bike and only recycled or used cardboard boxes are used for shipping,

Mill can also be played on the large board.
In October 2019, the colour game was awarded by "Spiel Gut". The entire structure of the game as well as the colours are stimulating and aesthetically designed. The colourful felt balls are produced in Nepal in sustainable production, at fair prices and under fair working conditions. They are also suitable for playing in the shop!

Inserting the ball, stretching and holding the rubber, aiming by feel and releasing the rubber trains hand-eye coordination, promotes the ability to concentrate and is also a valuable sequence of actions for ergotherapeutic exercises.
