A research team from Mint Digital has developed a toy and online game that encourages children to nurture and cultivate sourdough.
The four-man Foundry team -- the graduate design lab of Mint -- was given the challenge to make a toy that has a reason to exist. One of the ideas that they came up with was "Mr Sourdough", a device which allows you to cultivate your own yeast to make sourdough as if it was a Tamagotchi-esque family pet. The aim of the game is to keep the sourdough happy and growing, and then use the dough to create homemade bread.
