HENRY HALFHEAD

HENRY HALFHEAD
You only need to look at Henry Halfhead's huge eyes, Pinocchio nose and protruding ears to feel a spark of mischief. They're a funny little character, and in a world where being only half a head (the top) could lead to limited mobility, the lack of the rest of a body doesn't stop Henry in the slightest.

These introductory objects - a wooden xylophone on which you can plonk out a tune, and alphabet blocks you can wrangle into words, to name two - can all be occupied, instantly responding to movement and jump commands, and sometimes more, demanding that you test the properties of every single one.
