To design a toy for children with ages between four and six.
At these ages what really matter for a kid? What are their references? What do they like to play?
I realized that imagination and creativity is constantly bubbling in all the directions, with everything they see around them.
I went to a preschool and I asked them to draw whatever they like using only a white paper and a simple coal pencil
With the material that I collected after this experience I realized the importance that animals had for the children at these ages. They drew animals as they imagined them in their head.
My contribution was only to translate, with my perspective on the drawings, what they gave me, into 3D objects that could create and stimulate their imagination with geometric and abstract animals as references to the original animals.
