About Habitat Opvoedkundige Speelgoedbaksteen
Habitat is 'n stel opvoedkundige speelgoedbakstene wat vir voorskoolse kinders gemaak is. Die bakstene wys hoe klimaatsverandering ekosisteme beskadig en moedig vroeë bewustheid van ekologiese beskerming aan. Twee tonele word ingesluit: 'n smeltende gletser en 'n ontboste woud. Kinders vind die probleme, herbou die omgewing en bring die diere terug na hul habitatte. Die bakstene word van kurkbas gemaak, sodat geen bome vir produksie afgekap word nie. Kurk is antistaties en bestand teen stof. Gradiënte van vorm en kleur maak oop-einde stapeling moontlik.

- Research
- Research Type: Team Teaching - Science, Art, Mathematics
Objective: To learn and understand the effects of climate change and the habits of daily life
Methods:To collect the causes, effects, mitigation and adaptation measures of climate change.Based on the analysis of commercial toys, this paper classifies the suitable play methods for children's age development, and analyzes the quality of toys, aiming at sustainable materials.A questionnaire was designed to investigate the environmental problems and improve the environment of children by interviewing with teachers.
Data collection: climate change-related data analysis, 3-6 years old teaching toy market analysis, mass lifestyle analysis, early childhood teachers' opinions analysis.
Research tools: Rhinoceros 3D, Solidworks, Adobe Illustrator, procreate. - Inspiration
- According to the United Nation called for Sustainable Development Goals, two climate change issues namely the melting of arctic glaciers and over-deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, it brings out the seriousness of ecological damage cause by human, eventually global temperature rise, starvation, extinction of species. Let children learn and understand the effects of climate change to daily life, to develop their environmental concerns and habits from an early age education see its urgency.
- Project Duration
- The project began in August 2022 and was completed in Tainan, Taiwan in March 2023.
- Operation Flow
