Sharing the joy of manufacturing and the importance of environmental awareness with childrenGunpla Academia, Plastic Model Classes

  • In our Gunpla Academia initiative, we develop educational materials centered around Gunpla (Gundam model kits) to spark interest in sustainable manufacturing and incorporate these concepts into career education. We distribute this program as a complimentary educational package to elementary schools nationwide.
    Through hands-on building experiences where students actually handle and assemble Gunpla models, and videos that explain the manufacturing process, the roles of people involved, and recycling initiatives, we teach the fun and intricacies of manufacturing, as well as about efforts to address global environmental issues, leading to exploratory learning.
    Launched in October 2021, the program has been implemented in about 7,100 elementary schools nationwide, reaching approximately 520,000 students by March 2024.

    Note: Applications are limited to elementary schools designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

Bringing smiles and peace of mind through playBandai's children's support initiative during times of disaster

  • Bandai's children's support initiative during times of disaster
  • Recognizing a lack of support to alleviate anxiety and stress among children at disaster sites, we partnered with the nonprofit organization Save the Children Japan to design and produce original toys aimed at emotional care.
    Moving forward, we will actively support children in affected areas by coordinating with organizations and local governments that assist disaster-stricken communities in order to deliver help to those who need it.

    Bandai × Save the Children

The support toys we developed are designed to be companions for children, providing comfort when hugged or squeezed. We created air vinyl dolls and squeeze dolls that offer a sense of security to children.

  • Squeeze dolls
    ▲Squeeze dolls
    These are palm-sized, soft dolls that don't take up much space and can help relieve stress when squeezed.
  • Air vinyl dolls
    ▲Air vinyl dolls
    These dolls inflate with air. They can be easily deflated, making them ideal for life in cramped evacuation shelters. Their cushioning also makes them safe and enjoyable for children to play with.

Planning and Developing Accessible Design Toysto Deliver Fun Toy Experiences to More Children

  • The 'Guide Dog Mark' and 'Rabbit Mark' are displayed on toys that have been certified as accessible toys.
  • "Accessible design toys" are toys that have been thoughtfully designed in order to allow all children to play together, regardless of whether or not they have visual or hearing difficulties. The Japan Toy Association is a general incorporated association that is working to promote the development and popularization of these toys.
    Toys that have been certified as accessible design toys are marked with a Guide Dog Mark or Rabbit Mark on the package. The Guide Dog Mark is displayed on toys designed with consideration for children with visual difficulties, while the Rabbit Mark is displayed on toys designed with consideration for children with hearing difficulties.
    Bandai Co., Ltd. endorses this concept and will continue efforts to develop and popularize accessible design toys.

  • Example of a Toy Certified with the Guide Dog Mark
    Baby Labo Anpanman: Pop Open!

    Each of the five switches is operated with a different movement — twisting, lowering, pushing, tipping, and rotating—making playtime fun for the fingertips!
    The shapes of the switches are easy to recognize through touch, sparking curiosity! On each lid, the expressions on the Anpanman faces correspond to the character that pops out, giving kids a captivating experience!
    Each switch has a different shape, so children with visual impairments can distinguish the switches by feeling them, and the characters that pop out are three-dimensional, allowing their differences to be appreciated through touch.
