Abstract

This article explores the design of children’s educational toys in the context of multisensory experience, and provides a reference for the development and design of educational toys for preschool children. The article explores the multi-sensory experience of children, analyses the current situation of educational toys in the market, analyses the sensory needs of children based on the “multi -sensory experience” in design research, and provides examples of related products. The design elements of children’s educational products are summarised, namely interactivity, functionality and storytelling.
