Nüdel Kart is an innovative, deconstructable mobile play cart that transforms any space into a playground of creativity and learning. It comes packed with hundreds of loose parts that children can use to build, tinker, and imagine endless structures and scenarios. Designed for ages 3–12 and capable of engaging up to 30 children at once, Nüdel Kart encourages self-directed, unstructured play that develops critical 21st-century skills. Educators and parents love how easy it is to roll the cart indoors or outdoors and set up activities. Nüdel Kart truly inspires collaborative problem-solving, imaginative exploration, and active fun for children of all abilities. Includes a huge variety of loose parts (connectors, rods, wooden balls, flexible tubes, and more) that children can combine in countless ways. This all-in-one kit lets young builders create anything they dream up – from forts and vehicles to creatures and castles.
Suggested Classroom & Play Ideas
Nüdel Kart’s versatility shines in a variety of settings and activities. Here are some ideas to inspire its use in your classroom or play space:
STEM Building Challenges: Pose engineering tasks like “build the tallest tower” or “design a bridge that can hold a book.” Students can work in teams to plan, build, and test their creations, applying science and math skills in a fun, competitive way.
Imaginative Role-Play Stations: Transform your dramatic play area by letting kids construct their own settings and props. They might build a cozy cubby house, a pirate ship, a space rocket, or even a mini grocery store. Once built, children can use their creation as a backdrop for storytelling and pretend play.
Obstacle Courses & Active Play: Use Nüdel Kart pieces to set up a physical challenge course. For example, children can assemble tunnels to crawl through, balance beams to walk on, or markers to jump over. This encourages active movement, coordination, and cooperative play as they help each other through the course.
Art and Design Projects: Incorporate Nüdel Kart into art or design lessons. Children can create large-scale sculptures, geometric shapes, or even replicas of famous landmarks (like a mini Big Ben or Eiffel Tower). This hands-on creative process can tie into lessons about architecture, art, or history.
Collaborative Group Builds: Assign a big project for the whole class or small groups – such as building a “city” or an “adventure park” together. Each group can use part of the Nüdel Kart to construct one element (a building, a vehicle, a playground structure) and then connect their sections. This highlights teamwork and allows kids to appreciate how individual contributions form a larger creation.
Safety & Information
Dimensions & Storage: The Nüdel Kart’s cart frame is designed to fit through standard doorways for easy transport. For compact storage, its side arms detach to reduce the length to about 120 cm. You can even stand it upright against a wall like a slim cabinet, where it only extends ~40 cm out, saving space when not in use.
Materials: Made from sustainable, child-safe materials – most pieces are FSC-certified wood or plywood with a natural oil and beeswax finish (no toxic varnish). Flexible connectors use food-grade silicone, and strong Tencel™ webbing (a wood-fiber textile) provides secure, adjustable connections. All components are non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals like BPA or phthalates.
Certified Safety: Nüdel Kart meets international toy and playground safety standards for use in schools and childcare settings. It has been tested for durability and stability to ensure it can handle enthusiastic play. There are no sharp edges, and pieces are large enough to avoid choking hazards for young users.
Assembly Required: The cart is delivered flat-packed to save on shipping and storage. Adult assembly is required for the initial setup (all necessary tools and step-by-step instructions are included). Assembly is straightforward, and once built, the cart is ready to fill with the included play pieces. An assembly and pack-up manual is provided to guide you, along with a maintenance kit for any minor repairs or part replacements.
