#brettyoga - Yoga on the balance board das.Brett!
#brettyoga is a new, creative and varied way to practise yoga. You balance on the balance board while performing various yoga poses (including classic yoga asanas). The trend combines the benefits of yoga with intensive balance training. At the same time, the often static yoga exercises are brought into a flowing sequence of movements and combined with balance and swinging movements. In this way, #brettyoga strengthens your core muscles, improves your flexibility and calms your mind at the same time. Board yoga is ideal for yoga beginners, but even advanced practitioners can take their yoga practice to a new level, as every pose on the board presents an additional challenge. Just give it a try!

15 years of TicToys
From shared apartment kitchen table to a toy factory
We never planned to become toy manufacturers.
To be honest, we had quite a few ideas around our shared kitchen table in Chemnitz – some brilliant, some pretty far-fetched. But one idea stuck: that small, wooden ball-catching game that Tony had received as a gift from a Mexican in 2010. The simple dexterity game was transformed into a juggling game by the curved double handle – and that's how Ticayo was born!
All our friends wanted one. The only problem was – you couldn't buy it anywhere. So we decided to simply make it ourselves. Not because we thought it would become a business. But because we were convinced: This is fun. This is good. This has to be shared with the world.
Balance Board Exercises for Back & Core
A healthy back is the foundation for an active and pain-free life. The spine and the surrounding core muscles play a central role in almost every movement we perform. They support the body, enable flexibility and are crucial for good posture. Unfortunately, back pain is a widespread ailment that affects people of all ages and often leads to limitations in everyday life. There are many reasons for this, but it is often due to weak muscles or persistent incorrect strain. The sedentary activities that many people do are particularly counterproductive. This makes it all the more important to take preventative measures and pay attention to the signals our body is sending. A balance board like the board can help to actively promote back health, relieve tension and prevent discomfort.

First steps with Binabo
For us, Binabo is first and foremost an open-ended construction toy that allows children to play creatively without any instructions! However, especially in educational institutions such as kindergartens and schools, educators and teachers often ask for a guide to make it easier to get started. In this article, we will show you how to get started with Binabo and provide valuable tips and specific instructions for young Binabo beginners. Let's take the first steps into the fascinating world of Binabo together!
Binabo vehicles - from racing cars to Ferris wheels
It should be clear that Binabo can be used to build more than just balls! Binabo vehicles are particularly popular. This shows that really anything is possible with the construction game: construction site vehicles such as excavators and cranes, ships (which can actually float!), rockets, airplanes and helicopters, motorcycles and of course the popular Formula 1 car!
Everything is made from the same parts, even the axles and wheels are made from Binabo chips! Get inspired in this blog post - build according to our instructions or try your hand at your own Binabo vehicle constructions! Get creative yourself and let us be a part of it - we always have a small gift ready for particularly creative submissions :-)
Binabo baskets and bags, e.g. for your bike!
Binabo is not just a construction toy, but a tool for creative minds who want to build functional and stable objects. In this article, we show you how you can use Binabo to create practical objects such as baskets, bags and bottle holders.

corkolores: Sustainable juggling balls made of cork!
Our mission: unique toys, sustainable without compromise
Since our founding in 2011, we have always pursued the goal of developing innovative movement games that are not only fun, but also make a positive contribution to the environment. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our consistent choice of natural materials - from wood and cardboard from sustainable forestry to new, innovative bio-based plastics. Our goal is to create a circular economy in which we use resources efficiently, minimize waste and design toys so sustainably that they can be returned to the production process at the end of their life.
Despite our efforts, we must recognize that sustainable design often requires compromises. Certain materials and production processes are difficult or expensive to make environmentally friendly. We became particularly aware of this challenge when we realized our heart's project: the production of sustainable juggling balls made of cork.
In this article, we would like to inform you about the successes and obstacles on our way and proudly present our result. Although we have not fully achieved our goal of creating a 100% natural product, we are happy to have taken a big step in developing the first sustainable juggling balls with Corkolores Juggle and Corkolores Roule. You can now buy Corkolores through our crowdfunding project and help bring the project to life!
Binabo is now made of Terralene!
At TicToys we are constantly looking for ways to improve our products. Not only the design of our toys plays a role, but also the material from which they are made.
That's why we're happy to announce today that we've taken an important step towards sustainability and improved playability: We're switching to a new bio-based bioplastic for the production of Binabo
But what does that actually mean? What are bioplastics and why did we decide to make this switch? In this blog post we would like to answer these questions and give an insight into the world of bioplastics
