For the course of Innovation at ELISAVA | Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, we developed a new toy that we think will make a great improvement in the family routine.

We wanted to develop a game because we are fascinated by children's imagination and we think that the night time is a very important moment to take advantage of. On the other hand, we know that putting the children to sleep is one of the biggest challenges in the daily routine.

We interviewed some parents to figure out which were the obstacles and the problems of this process. We came out with BULB after these interviews and some researches that let us find out there are no games designed for children older than three going to sleep.

Going to sleep is a daily task. The preparation of itself is one of the most exhausting process of the day. As parents, we want to give our children self confidence and autonomy to develop each assignment by their own.

The child must complete all the assignments before going to sleep, otherwise BULB will not unlock the bedtime story.

Each time the kid has achieved one task, the parent allows the kid to go and touch BULB. With the pressure of the hand, the light goes on and off. This process is repeated until all the duties are finished. When all it's ready, BULB gives you certain options of bedtime stories, and they are read by the parent together with BULB.

If the child has fear of the darkness, BULB has also the function to let the light on for a while until the kid fall asleep.

Thanks for watching!​​​​​​​
