| DESIGN NAME: HBCT PRIMARY FUNCTION: Modular Bionic Blind Box Toy INSPIRATION: The design of assembled blind box toys based on mortise and tenon structure is not often studied at home and abroad, but this traditional skill still has a lot of room for development in design. The bionic design of the puffer fish is unique in the biological world, and biomimetic design in the shape of the puffer fish allows children to explore its unique biological structure while understanding the complexity and diversity of the biological world. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: HBCT is a bionic assembled blind box toy with a modular design. It is mainly used in the field of education, using the assembly method to enhance children's hand-eye coordination, logical thinking ability and spatial imagination. The biomimetic design of puffer fish can cultivate children's observation, perception and experimental ability. Understanding the diversity and complexity of the natural world also fosters their ability to think creatively and experiment, giving them the confidence. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The process of assembling a toy usually starts with the bottom or main part and gradually adds other parts. Assembled toys can be displayed as collectibles, as well as for play and entertainment. The assembly process helps children improve their hands-on and logical thinking skills, stimulate their creativity and imagination, and at the same time understand the biological structure of pufferfish, stimulate children's curiosity about the biological world, and improve their interest in learning. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2022 at in fushun, liaoning province, China, and finished in March 2023 at in fushun, liaoning province China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Toys, Games and Hobby Products Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The materials of HBCT toys meet ‘food grade’ safety standards to ensure safety when used by children. The connection method adopts a mortise and tenon structure, so that children can complete it by themselves, and exercise their hands-on ability and logical thinking ability. In order to avoid injuries to children during use, the corners of the parts of the toy should be as smooth as possible, and the weight should be moderate so that children can easily assemble and disassemble.
