Building Sets
TOTEMO School Sets (Kindergartens and Primary Schools)
Choose the right set according to the size of your group. Each school set is designed to allow children to share the building pieces and take turns creating together. This makes the set a collaborative learning tool for the entire class.
Why TOTEMO works in the classroom:
• Children can build independently, in pairs or in groups.
• One set offers dozens of different activities – without the need for building instructions.
• The building system grows with children: from simple shapes to complex constructions.
Special offers for educational institutions
We offer attractive packages for schools and kindergartens, tailored to the size of your group. Depending on the set, activity and inspiration cards may also be included to help you integrate TOTEMO easily into everyday educational activities – for example, morning circle time, learning stations, project days or after-school programmes.
What makes ordering easier?
• Invoicing for educational institutions
• Advice on choosing the right set based on the number and age of children
• The option to add more components and expand your set later

“What I particularly liked was the atmosphere created during the workshop – through costumes, the accordion, acting and the building pieces. Maintaining the children’s attention through accordion music and responding directly to their spontaneous actions worked wonderfully. This was particularly remarkable because our children are more accustomed to free play and rarely participate in group activities. The programme offered a balanced combination of stories, movement and building.”

Workshops
How does TOTEMO support children’s development in the classroom?
TOTEMO is more than a creative building system. It offers a wide range of games and activities that help children develop their own understanding of the world. It creates space for self-expression and open-ended creativity – a form of play without a predetermined outcome, where imagination has no limits.
Technical education and exploration: With TOTEMO, children develop fine motor skills, logical thinking, construction skills and environmental awareness.
Psychomotor development: In addition to the building system, we have developed special activity cards that take playing with TOTEMO to another level. The cards include activities designed to develop different skills – creativity (drawing, colouring and creating), coordination (building towers, practising balance and developing spatial awareness) and imagination (open-ended building inspired by different themes such as space, sports, architecture and much more).
To make playing together even more engaging, we have created special activity cards that support children’s overall development. Would you like some inspiration? Discover our activity cards!

Sample Workshop
The Secret of the Universe – Creating a World with TOTEMO
It all began with the Big Bang… and now the children are here to create an entire world from scratch using TOTEMO. A little universe appears on stage – lost in its endless expansion, it searches for answers that only the children can provide. Through games and the TOTEMO building system, we explore together how everything began and how we can create new worlds together.
Duration: 90 minutes
Group size: Up to 20 children
What will the children learn? Through group movement games, children develop their sense of direction and body coordination in space. By incorporating the building system into the games, they connect whole-body movement with the fine motor skills of their fingers. Throughout the activities, children are encouraged to collaborate and develop their own stories. In the first phase, they connect the building pieces intuitively and interpret their own creations. In the second phase, they use the building system in a more purposeful and conscious way. This helps them develop practical skills and constructive thinking. Through storytelling and role-play, children develop empathy for the main character and use their imagination to help overcome the challenges the character brings to them.
