Design Tool for Child Cognitive Development Teaching Aid Design with Multisensory and Synesthesia Stimuli

Abstract

The negative effect of compulsory homework for preschoolers is encouraging the development of interesting learning ways that can effectively enhance learners’ passion and engagement. Since multisensory learning has earned a stronger reputation, it is no doubt that there is a potential market for innovative children cognitive development products. The thesis is focused on building a design tool to help designers develop novel multisensory teaching aids for children from 2-7. Additionally, the tool also extracts some inspiration from synesthesia in order to make the design more innovative and explore children’s synesthetic ability, which has a positive impact on increasing one’s academic achievement. In the part of project development, the tool is fully used in the design process to show how it will perform as a tool.
