Handcrafted Wooden Toys of Recently Extinct Animals

Dec 27, 2009 1 comments

Handcrafted wooden toys of recently extinct animals is designed by Josh Finkle.

I selected these four creatures for their beautiful shapes and patterns. Choosing an anthropomorphic approach, I designed them with simplified, humanistic shapes and statures. Once unfolded, the packaging becomes an information graphic about the animal inside. These toys are meant to incite wonder and interest in creatures that existed only a short while ago. 2009.

    Amazing Pieces, only thing is the Diagrams. I cant stop laughing at the Tasmanian Tiger's 'Maple' and The Sea Cow's Walnut isn't much better.
