Research On Children’s Wooden Toys Design Based On The Theory Of Affairology

Children discover the world, understand the world and explore the world through a varietyof games and toys are the most important carrier. Wooden toys have a long history and itseco-friendly, educational, natural merits endeared it to everyone and they also have ownedoutstanding performance in the early childhood education and intellectual development. For thepast few years, states have enhanced the strength of research and development, with advancedtechnologies and ideas blending in new technologies and ideas, but there’re rarely researches ondesign theories of children’s wooden toys. So it is of great reference value and practicalsignificance to research wooden toys design from the view of child’s point.Design Affairology is the theoretical basis of design research which is advanced by LiuGuanzhong and it is of important practical significance and social value on applied research ofthe theory. The paper will use the theory of Affairology to direct the design of children’swooden toys：(1) We explore the research value of children’s wooden toys from generalizing theorigin, classification, situation and prospects of wooden toys.(2) The users of wooden toys areanalyzed, we summarize the demand differences of market and the design consideration ofenterprises to provide reference for product orientation from the investigations of existingproducts and the different requirements of children and parents for wooden toys.(3) We analyzechildren’s wooden toys based on Affairology to probe the structure of “affair” and theexpression of “method” as well as rational situation context and establish a reliable pattern ofchildren’s lifestyle model for guiding the design practice.(4) We should complete the design ofa specific project with evaluation and optimization under the guidance of early theoreticalstudies and investigations to validate the rationality and scientificity of Getting Affairology tothe design of children’s wooden toys and provide the theoretical foundation and mentality ofdesign in this area and related fields for the future, as well as making China’s toy manufacturingindustry more internationally competitive with its own characteristics.
