아동을 위한 승용(乘用) 블록 완구 디자인 개발

This study classified toys into block toys and car toys, identified pros and cons, integrated them, and investigated children's play behavior and effects through literature, suggesting design alternatives with improved advantages of block toys and car toys. Through product analysis of blocks and car toys, it was possible to identify prior technologies and key keywords, and it was confirmed that improvements to toys currently on the market and diversity of play were required. The product development improved the utilization of space and diversity of play methods to induce children to be interested in play, and the material was developed as a fixed passenger toy considering eco-friendly factors using wood. The significance of this study was that first, the characteristics of block toys and riding toys were integrated to suggest improved usability, second, the formation of a habit of organizing them along with the function of play in the process of decomposition and assembly, and third, it was easy to store and distribute them when not in use. As a future task of this study, we hope that this paper will help develop various block toys and passenger toys in the future along with product improvement through usability testing in kindergartens or childcare facilities.
