In Korea, it has been started to produce design textbook and to expand the portion of design class separating the classes of art and design upon recognizing the needs of early design training in the early childhood and children periods. However, current design education consists of the classes mainly oriented with the visual expression ways such as shaping, decorating, and so on, and completed outcomes, which lacks the design classes focusing on the process to seek the solution by themselves before coming out the production outcomes by the design class. In addition, the types of teaching tools to be utilized in the class were concentrated in math or sciences, and very few experience types of teaching aids were found to be used in the real life with the outcomes of teaching tools produced. In this article, experience type of DIY design teaching tools was suggested to assist the design education and to enhance the creativity. Utilization plans of the teaching tools were sought to a variety of fields and the onsite practices based on the research and development results by integrating these teaching aids including workbook type of textbook style aid that could experience the design process, DIY tools to experience two and three-dimensional senses, and ‘experience type of DIY design tools’ to integrate the experiential tools that could use in the daily life and wear.
