Research On The Product Design Of Color Cognitive Education For Preschool Children

Colors are ubiquitous and play a vital role in our understanding of the world.How to make preschoolers have better color experiences and cognitive processes is crucial for children at that period.Providing a rich and meaningful color experience for preschool children is crucial during their developmental stage.Play-based educational toys are designed to transmit knowledge while also incorporating the fun and engaging aspects of toys to cultivate children’s learning and cognitive abilities.Existing color education methods and traditional products such as picture books and coloring tools are limited in their forms,and there is a growing demand for interactive and experiential designs that integrate new technologies and experiences in educational toys.In particular,incorporating simple interactive and experiential design elements to increase children’s interest in learning and exploring is becoming an important trend in the field of children’s educational toys.This paper is based on interdisciplinary research in design and developmental psychology,using research tools such as literature reviews,market research,interviews,surveys,and case studies.From various perspectives such as the market,target audience,and existing product analysis,this paper explores the physiological,psychological,and cognitive development characteristics of 3-6-year-old children,investigates their color perception and cognitive ability,and proposes design concepts for color education toys that are appropriate for their physical and mental growth and development.In the design practice section,based on the characteristics of color perception and interaction,this paper presents a product design solution that combines simple interactive technologies and new experiential design techniques such as augmented reality,aiming to cultivate preschool children’s color sensitivity and cognitive abilities as well as their exploratory and creative learning in the field of color.
