Study On Interactive Design Of Children's Sensory Experience Toys

Toys are an important medium for children to interact with the outside world and can be considered to be an important tool for developing their intelligence and shaping their imaginations.Increases in global prosperity in terms of technology and standards of living have led to an increase in the production and consumption of toys.With the development of the service economy and the widescale spread of the theory of Montessori sensitive period in China,the importance of sensory experience in children is gradually becoming prevalent in the public eye.However,since the majority of these toys are produced to simply stimulate the senses,the potential for the intrinsic development of the child is being ignored.Toy manufactures must be socially responsible and committed to ensure that the toys they are designing should prioritize the development of children;put simply,helping children to reach their full potential should be the main priority in the design process of children's toys.This paper consists of three chapters that are discuss the subject of the interactive design of children's sensory experience with toys,focusing on the visual and tactile aspects of the design process.The first chapter introduces the research background and significance of the subject,stressing the importance of interaction as a main region of innovative priority in the design of children's toys.The second chapter expounds the relevant theories of sensory experience toys along with contemporary practices of incorporating the sensory experience into children's toys.In the highest caliber of designs,success in the design process is analyzed from three main aspects:visual interaction,tactile interaction and finally,the overlap of visual interaction with tactile interaction.The third chapter introduces the author's own interactive toy design.The innovative design of the series "Monkey Fishing Moon","Tiger Tooth Extraction" and "Little Pig Run" series of toys puts this theory into practice.This thesis attempts to combine theory with practice,based on the relevant theory of sensory sensitive period of children-starting from the sensory experience of vision and touch and combined with the interactive innovative design,the theory explores new ideas for children's toy design from the initial stages.Implementing these theories and practices into toy design could yield many benefits for future generations.
