Tangles have, in recent years, built up a good reputation worldwide as ‘therapeutic toys’. It is a rotating therapeutic tool that reduces tension and stress and increases your concentration.
This learning tool is about the movement. There is no right and no wrong. No example and no mandatory form. You take it in your hand or in two hands and make endlessly fluid movements. Each Tangle is made up of a series of round corners that are connected to each other. This allows rotating movements to be made.
The Tangle is made up of a series of 90-degree arcs. These are connected to each other by a smart click system and are therefore easy to detach. This allows the Tangle to take on endless shapes. He has no beginning or end and can move in any way possible.
The Tangles are available in all kinds, where often the outside (regardless of the color) is different, for example smooth, with ridges, balls, rubbery and so on.
