Why ARKI?

ARKi is a multiFUNctional play couch which is as much eye candy for your kid’s play zone as it is the building blocks to unleash your child’s imagination to create just about anything! ARKi fuses beautiful pieces with beautiful play and we believe that when this happens, anything is possible and lasting memories are made.

Each ARKi Base Camp pack is a 10-piece tool kit made up of:

All of these elements not only provide a beautiful and comfortable kids sized couch but all the essentials needed to build THE BEST double bed, cubbies, castles, puppet shows, race tracks, princess zones, donut shops, pirate ships…

So, why is ARKi better?

‘Play has long been understood as a vital tool for children’s development and learning.’ Emma Sutherland, Early Childhood Psychology & Development Educator.
Children learn through play and as ARKi is literally kid-sized constructive blocks of many shapes and sizes, it enables kids to effectively engage in both imaginative and constructive play. It also helps develop the pretend play critical for their social and emotional development and as well as fine tune their motor skills thru manipulation and building.

ARKi multiFUNctional play couch offers a unique mix of squares, half moons, triangular shapes and arches that will let your kids build more than almost any other couch! Each piece is light enough for even little kids to move and manipulate their creations without tears. And ARKi's anti-slip trapezoids and unique velcro strips attached to each base cushion allows them to build with freedom rather than frustration. 
Plus ARKi's add-on packs provide your little tinkerer all the additional bits and pieces (ceilings for cubbies, curtains for shows, lighting and signage for the main event) to take their creation to the next level (and preserve your fabulous furnishings!) 

ARKi's unique velcro attachment on its base cushions & nonslip trapezoids ensures frustration-free play for little builders.
