Introduction
Kalimantan Island, or also known as the Borneo Island, is home to thousands of exotic animals including the rhinoceros hornbill, pesut mahakam, Bornean orangutan, sun bear, etc. But it's very unfortunate, the third largest island in the world is finding many of their exotic animals already on the verge of extinction. Every effort has been made from various parties and layers to save the animals from disappearing from the earth's surface. In front of adults, this critical issue is certainly a common thing. But how can we introduce this issue to children from an early age?
Unlike adults, this complex problem certainly cannot be digested comprehensively by children as adults can. That is why we need a medium that is considered suitable to teach this issue to children at the most basic level, which is introducing the exotic fauna of the island of Borneo.
Therefore, the Bornea Toys project is here to introduce children to the vast beauty of fauna of Borneo from an early age. Not only in the form of animal-shaped toys, Bornea Toys also features a disassembly toy system so that children can practice their cognitive abilities at the same time. Built and crafted primarily from pine wood, Bornea Toys offers an educational and fun toys for children to get to know the beauty of Borneo Island's fauna and child cognitive training at once. Making this product line consisting of 10 animal models an wooden educational animal toy product.
