London based designer Lyda Te worked on this project for the D&AD Unilever brief.The brief was to “create a positive social or environmental impact utilising the power of a Unilever brand“.

“The idea of my solution is to create a competition which focus around the lack of interaction between young children and nature environment.”

It’s a sweet project that would delight any kid lucky enough to get their hands on it.
