Inspired by origami in childhood
Origami art not only has artistic aesthetic value, but also contains mathematical operations and spatial geometry principles. Before folding, it needs mathematical operations to complete origami works.

Sensory organs
Based on the sensitivity of children aged 0-1 to sound, I made small devices with different patterns on the screen after clapping hands.
Interest
Based on the sensitivity of children over one year old to intelligence toys and previous surveys of toy size, I designed different slots to store different toys.
- minimalism
The reason for using minimalism as inspiration for this product is that minimalism can cultivate children's aesthetic outlook and tidy up habits. Minimalist design can make transportation easier and make children's mood healthier.

Basic geometry
According to minimalism, the basic geometry is chosen as the shape of the receiving box.
