Compared with the puzzle building blocks in the market, instead materials used commonly like wood or plastic, recycle corrugated fiberboard as main material since recycling also conforms to sustainable development objective.
Dimensions & Packaging: Material：corrugated paper, Acrylic paint.
Play Items: 1. Basic building:12 pcs buildings blocks in 4 types, each comes with 3 sizes: dimension range from biggest building block in length 105mm x width 85mm x height 40mm to smallest house in length 8omm x width 60mm x height 40mm.
2. Others items: Wind Turbines, length 170mm x width 80mm x height 25mm 4. Terrain puzzle: Type A, length 300mm x width 200mm, Type B, length 240mm x width 200mm
Tags: Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, Educational Learning Toy, City Blueprint, Inclusive, Safe, Resilient, Sustainable
Production Technology: Material: corrugated paper, Production technology: using laser cutting, output plane, hand-painted and glued. Surface treatment: color using non-toxic waterproof acrylic paint, part of the surface retains the surface texture of corrugated paper.
Design Challenge: Corrugated paper as the only materials made this puzzle toy unique and different from other toy materials on the market, due to the thicker part of the paper, it cannot be completely cut during laser cutting, and it needs to be manually modified, because of the large number of objects in the shape, the color plan was constantly adjusted. In order to achieve the final ideal shape and color, the team tried and revised many times, and finally came up with the best solution.
Research: Type of study: STEAM education focus on Sustainable Development Goals.
Objectives：To raise consciousness on the sustainable development goals for preschool age children, especially the issues of urban sustainability, inclusive, safe and resilient.
Method: Type analysis, urban environment analysis, material analysis, toy type size analysis
Data Collection: Market research for children aged 3-6, market analysis of toys aged 3-6 and analysis of the opinions of teachers and leaders in early childhood education
Research tools: Rhinoceros 3D,Adobe Illustrator, KeyShot
Inspiration: Many of the fundamental values of tomorrow society are being formed in early childhood contexts today.
