Educational Toys for Toddler

I was graduated in Product Design Department. In the final project, i made educational toys for toddler. Toys, and play in general, are important when it comes to growing up and learning about the world around us. The young use toys and play to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults. Adults use toys and play to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, remember and reinforce lessons from their youth, discover their identity, exercise their minds and bodies, explore relationships, practice skills, and decorate their living spaces.

I named my final project toys "FUDDLER" means Fun, Educative for Toddler (2-5 years). Why Toddler? Because in that age, 2-5 years is the "golden age". The Golden Age is a time period when some activity or skill was at its peak. So  it is so important to stimulate the toddler skills in this period.  The concept of my final project is an educational toys that can stimulate 3 development of basics skills ( motoric, cognitive, and psychological) of  toddler. Fuddler is a builder toys that have many different parts.  All the parts shape is  used basic shape : circle, square, triangle, and trapezoidal).  The  3 diffrent parts are :
  1. Basic parts, consist  wheel, container, handle, and pole.
  2. wodden cube and ball
  3. Wooden screws
Fuddler also used basic colors: Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. And it can build in  5 different toys : Chart, Cycle, Scooter, Rocker, and stacking toys table.


The Goals of this project is to design an educational toys that can be form or build with that toddler's desire and imagine and also can stimulate their 3 development of basics skills, such as :
  1. Motoric Skills : to practice their motoric skills : to build, to walk, to propel, to climb, and to ascend .
  2. Cognitive Skills : to develop their power of imagination (bulid something) , to know basic colors and shape, and to practice how to build something that they want ( help to 
    stabilized beetwen their brain and hand).
  3. Psychological : to learn how to be patient and make efforts.
