Dinosaurs, experiment boxes, Barbie dolls: Children adore their toys. By using them, they build wonderful imaginary worlds. They also learn valuable social skills by sharing their passion. But did you know who develops these toys? SBS reporter Daniel Salg met one of them in Germany.


Dr Mark Bachofer develops modular experiment boxes for the Stuttgart-based toy company Kosmos. His products are sold to countries as far away as Australia.
