Production Technology: It fully combines cognition training and storytelling: the body of each lock has two windows that can be opened, the top window is the objects about the theme, and the bottom window is corresponding scene. For example, a snowflake and snowmen are on the top, while scenes of making snowmen are on the bottom.
Design Challenge: More importantly, the appearance of lock can be hung on the wall to perfectly blend into the indoor environment, which is also easy to store in daily life, bringing users a caring experience.

Project Duration: The project finished in August 2021 in China
Operation Flow: In addition, parents can display different scenes by turning the scroll wheel in the bottom window, so that they can lead their children to find and identify the designated objects in the scene, and also tell them various interesting stories according to five attached picture-books.
