Toto by Rajat

Often growing toddlers tend to be very curiously agile when they start observing, understanding and communicating the world around them. By the time they grow older, they gain enough experience to notice and react to any kind of sensory input. They may learn to make decisions based on the things thrown at them as entertainment like electronic gadgets. So this becomes an important concern when the child tries to get things with similar visual form or appeal.

So as a part of Toy Design domain, the challenge is to design a wooden toy suitable for a child (9-15 months old). The toy should be designed by biomimetic as a learning from nature which also highly corresponds to the adaption of living creatures in nature. For this toy, aquatic animals like Octopuses, Dolphins, Jellyfish and hens are looked upon as inspiration for their wavy, flaring, quirky and jerky motions and dynamic yet soft forms.
