Catchy by Anushree Banerjee
Anushree wants to create a push toy for children aged 9 to 15 months that uses nature-inspired design (biomimicry). The toy should help kids recognize colors and patterns through its movement and feedback. It should also surprise them in a fun way.
She is drawing inspiration from chameleons or hummingbirds. Safety is crucial, so the toy's shapes, materials, and size of pieces must be child-friendly and durable. It should keep the child engaged for a long time.
One idea is 'Catchy the Chameleon,' a toy that kids can push or play with. The main action is its mouth opening to catch a 'fly' with its tongue. It also features rotating color disks for interactive play while sitting. The toy aims to improve fine motor skills and cognitive learning by teaching color and pattern recognition."
