{{Quotation2|<h4>4. Birdman Puppet</h4>	
The '''Birdman Puppet''' was designed as a toy to inspire creativity and 'world building' and own-story creation. 

Whilst playing with it, the world around the toy and the person's mind open to all possibilities of imagination and observation. The idea is inspired by [[Lego]]'s Bionicles, [[Action Man]], [[Barbie]] and other poseable figures. 

An important aspect of the design, in order to provide an open-ended starting point for imagination, is in the minimalism of its outward expression. Like the toys from Waldorf Steiner - no designated emotion or strong tone allows the person playing with them to add their own changeable feelings and thoughts - It is interesting that playing with such a doll/toy figure that does not give the answers is a way for a person to learn about themselves, explore the figure's imaginary life, because it can act as an extension of themselves. This toy therefore allows free and inspiring infinite play.}}
