Obangnori
Create an Eco-Friendly and Safe Family Play Culture
Obangnori is a social venture managed by women with interrupted careers due to marriage, pregnancy or childbirth. Talented housewives came up with the idea to move from isolated parenting to career development and self-realization.
'Ju-Ryung-Gu' turtle, the mascot of Obangnori, is a hand-made, environmentally friendly toy. In creating the toys, various colors of natural dye and unprocessed cotton are used in order to develop children's sense of touch, hearing and sight. Also, many kinds of inner materials and a traditional Korean method of knotting are utilized.
