Case Study: Designing the Toy
We envisioned a squishable, friendly companion rather than a traditional gadget. Here is a look at the design decisions that make the Toy engaging, safe, and intuitive for children.
Form & Interaction
Instead of screens and buttons, children interact through natural tactile gestures and physical feedback.
- Pat or squish to turn it on
- Twist and fidget the interactive tail
- Blinking eyes and a soft ambient LED base light
Materials & Hardware
Safety and touch are our top priorities. The hardware is seamlessly integrated into child-safe, durable materials.
- Matte, squishable, non-toxic silicon body
- Felt fabric ears concealing inbuilt speakers and mics
- Soft touch flexible rubber for the toggle tail
- Hidden USB-C charging port
Companionship
Available in four calming colors (Maple Orange, Sage Green, Pastel Pink, Lavender Mist), the Toy actively assists in daily routines.
- Responds with voice, sound effects, stories, and music
- Helps with bedtime routines using calm sounds and soft dimming light
