About Habitat Kev Ua Haujlwm Tseem Ceeb: Lub Cev Ua Si Kawm Ntawv

Ntawv Qhia: Habitat yog ib pawg cev ua si kawm ntawv rau cov menyuam yaus uas tsis tau mus kawm ntawv. Cov cev qhia txog kev hloov huab cua tau ua rau puas tsuas lub ntiaj teb kev ua neej nyob, thiab txhawb kom cov menyuam yaus paub txog kev tsom kwm ib puag ncig thaum lawv tseem me. Muaj ob qhov chaw: ib qho yog ib daim tshav ice zom ua dej, ib qho yog ib pawg hav zoov uas raug muab txiav pov tseg. Cov menyuam yaus yuav tsum nrhiav cov teeb meem, rov txhim kho lub ib puag ncig, thiab coj cov tsiaj rov qab mus rau hauv lawv qub chaw nyob. Cov cev ua si tau tsim los ntawm cork bark (nkoos ntoo cork), yog li ntawd tsis muaj ib tsob ntoo raug txiav pov tseg rau kev tsim khoom no. Cork tsis coj hluav taws xob thiab tiv thaiv tsis pub muaj hmoov av. Kev hloov hloov ntawm daim duab thiab xim pub kom muaj kev khu ua ntau hom qauv tsis txwv.

Unique Properties: Habitat, the toy bricks was designated to convey the concept of climate change cause damage to ecosystem and inspire children's awareness of ecological protection and to educate preschool children about climate action. Made of Spanish cork bark material which is no trees were chop down for the sake of production, is antistatic that avoid dust adhere, prevent children from asthma and allergies. Made up of gradients of shape and colors, open-ended stackable toy brick in natural habitat scenario.
Dimensions & Packaging: Materials: Cork, Latex Paint, Paper
Dimension:
Glacier/ each cork brick size from Length 30 cm x Width 23cm x Height 3cm to Length 7cm x Width 3cm x Height 3cm.
Forest: each cork brick size from Length 20cm x Width 11cm x Height 5cm to length 4cm x width 2.5cm x height 3cm. playground map: length 42cm x width 59.4cm , Flash card: length 29.7cm x width 42cm
Tags: Habitat, Climate Change, Climate Action, Toy Brick, SDGs, Educational, Cork Wood, Ecosystem
Production Technology: Material: Cork wood, paper. Production: laser cutting, flat output, manual coloring. Surface treatment: Use latex paint to color, retain the cork surface texture.
Design Challenge: Because cork wood is made up of broken pieces, it will be uneven and need to be re-finished by hand, and because of the small size of the cork, the final size can be easily broken.
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: The children were asked to find out the problems and make ecological restoration. After assembling and constructing the environmental components, the animals could be put back into their ecological state. Through conceptual guidance and practical implementation, children can remember more deeply.
