Play with Larch Blocks




Using wood means protecting the forest.──The Forest Lifestyle Lab engages in various activities from multiple perspectives, centered around the keywords of forest creation and human development. Their LEGO-style blocks, "Larch Blocks," made from thinned larch wood from Ina, are currently gaining popularity.

Toys Full of Unique Woody Scents, Textures, and Warmth




In addition to forest development, the Forest Lifestyle Lab actively organizes workshops for children, such as camping in nature, building secret bases in forests after logging, making personal chopsticks from thinned wood, and playing with Larch Blocks.

Larch Blocks are eco-friendly toys made by crushing and recycling thinned Shinshu larch wood, then molding it with a binder using biomass technology. They are characterized by their durability, even when washed with water. They can be played with by combining them with each other or with the spherical "Larch Capsules" sold separately. These are noteworthy not only as items that contribute to environmental activities but also as educational toys for children.
