There’s a simple formula behind these eco-friendly toys designed by Noa Himelfarb: Kids like dirt + kids like animals + kids like building = Muzoo. So instead of creating a creature from a potato, they use a lump of mud.
The Muzoo kit consists of a simple frame that makes it easier for artistically challenged kids to sculpt a lump of mud into a lion, giraffe, or elephant. As well as plastic accessories that serve as ears, tails, and manes so they don’t have to make quite as big a leap with their imaginations to bring them to life.
In fact the Muzoo probably isn’t limited to just use with mud. Plasticine would work just as well. But once kids get tired of the animal they’ve made, it’s far easier and more environmentally friendly for them to just crumble their creation to the ground, and start again.

Mr Whippy Cone Lamps: What? No Sprinkles?
No wonder this article confused me… not sure if you’re aware guys & girls of giz uk, but the lead-in blurb on the previous page is the same as for the new social network (Path).
Hmm, it appears to be different now, but you may’ve spotted a small error on our behalf there — apologies, Hyperstate.
At first glance, and second actually, even now, this seems like it is made out of something entirely different.
You’re thinking of this aren’t you http://youtu.be/dKf9i0izmSU
I am stuck on the train and laughing like an idiot now. I had completly forgotten about this.
Glad to be of service my friend.
I would definitely want to try and grow cress on these things!
