Problem:
WHAT?
Fine motor skills are tasks that utilize the small muscles of the body like those in the fingers
WHY?
Nearly 60% / 70% of children's school work require fine motor skills
WHEN?
Fine motor skills shall be developed in the age of 1 - 5 years
Main problems discovered through the initial research phase:
* Digital era. Children prefer tablet to drawing, keyboard to writing by hand
* Busy lifestyles of parents as well as a permanent lack of time
* Lack of toys to help children gradually develop fine motor skills
Creative solution:
Handigon is a unique fine motor skills development toy for children from 1 year to 5 years old.
It consists of five parts wtih six panels on each one. Depending on age of a child the complexity as well as type of activities and tasks on panels vary. Relative division of a toy into five main stages (each part for each year accordingly) makes it easier for a parent to track the process of fine motor skills development to make a kid finally be prepared for a school life.
