About Hair Salon 동물 장난감

이 팀은 네 가지 귀여운 동물 모양을 디자인하여 아이들이 다양한 동물을 이해하는 법을 배우고 다양한 머리 스타일을 창의적으로 만들어 자신만의 공예 기술을 개발할 수 있도록 했습니다. 연구팀은 아이들이 쉽게 조작할 수 있도록 동물의 바닥에 압력판의 넓은 면적을 만들었다. 아이들은 반죽을 동물 장난감 안에 넣어야 하고, 짜는 과정을 통해 반죽의 털을 짜내고 다듬어 줍니다. 반죽은 재사용이 가능한 재료입니다. 또한 장난감은 친구, 부모 등 다른 사람들과 놀기에 적합하며, 재미있는 머리를 만들어 많은 재미를 만들어냅니다.

Unique Properties: The unique properties are to make children become dough hairdressers giving full play to their creativity to design different hair styles for animals. It is very important to cultivate children's hands-on skills.

Trying to make animal hairstyles is an experimental process and kids can play together.

Production Technology: The material of this toy is plastic and is made by injection molding.
Design Challenge: Taking leading the growth of children's aesthetics as the project mission, the toy that integrates art (Art), games (Play) and imagination (Think), and is committed to children's aesthetic toys and aesthetic education. In order to reduce fixation of children thinking, we designed four cute animal shapes. For example, children can dress the sheep toy into ewe, ram or punk sheep, so that they can freely create their own style for the toy.
Research: Dough is a material that is easy to shape; however, children need to create artifacts from scratch. This may make some children less motivated to play the dough. To solve this problem, we designed four cute animal shapes so children can learn to understand different animals and creative different hair styles for them to develop their own craft skills.
Inspiration: It is very important to cultivate children's hands-on skills. Children can dress the sheep toy into ewe, ram or punk sheep, so that they can freely create their own style for the toy. The toy is suitable for playing with other people, such as friends and parents, and creates a lot of fun by making funny hair. The dough can be reused and does not require electricity, so it is a sustainable toy.
Project Duration: Duration: January 2019 to January 2021.
Location: Hong Kong and Ningbo.
Operation Flow: Since this is a new toy launched, it has already received some good responses. “My son usually gets bored after playing with toys a few times. But this dough salon toy, he can play again and again, especially during epidemics.” Children need to put the dough in the animal toy, and through squeezing, the hair will be squeezed out. Dough is a material that can be reused. The dough will dry out after a period of use, but just add a little water to restore its original elasticity. This reuse material will benefit both users and environment.
