The research to bring this project alive is started from <!--more-->the study of autism and all the characteristics and problematics of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">disability<\/a>. When we look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toys<\/a> available for autistic children, it is observed that many toys often generalize all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children into one broad category. In reality, causes, needs, treatments and challenges for these children are diverse and never uniform, so not one child is the same as the next. From here the need to create an attractive and beneficial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toy<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng.jpg\" alt=\"Pooki_02_eng\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_02_eng-640x360.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> is designed to help parents find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toy<\/a> that suits their child, rather than the opposite. The Pooki\u2019s aim is to <strong>help children in emotional, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/social\/\">social<\/a> and cognitive development<\/strong>. So, how is it been resolved the need of diversify? Understanding that all children are different, <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> is designed with <strong>the principle of customization<\/strong>. It is a customizable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toy<\/a> that could be shaped to adapt to the specific needs in order to achieve the comfort.<br \/>\nFirstly, <strong>the ambiguous form<\/strong>. One toy that is attractive to one child, might not be for another, so utilizing an ambiguous form, children are encouraged to rotate and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">play<\/a> with the form that they feel most comfortable with.<br \/>\nSecondly, <strong>different colours and textures<\/strong>. To cater for different levels of sensitivities, the fins attached to the body with magnets are available in two different textures: soft silicone and hard wood. Furthermore, these fins can have different tenuous colours that are more attractive for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children rather than strong colours. The fins, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/design\/\">designed<\/a> to be ergonomic and easy to hold, can also be removed if the child prefers to play without them. As regard the fabric part, the fabric chosen is a\u00a0 blend of merino wool and bamboo fabric which has antibacterial properties and is also easy to clean.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng.jpg\" alt=\"Pooki_08_eng\" width=\"880\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng-320x189.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Pooki_08_eng-640x379.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, <strong>the blank face<\/strong>. Emotion is a very abstract concept, one person&#8217;s definition of happiness is different to another person&#8217;s. For this reason <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> has a blank face where parents and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">children<\/a> can draw their own interpretation of faces and emotion. This feature encourages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/social\/\">social<\/a>, cognitive and emotional development and also provides to parents and children an alternative method of communication. The face plate, made of aluminium, can be coloured with pencils, pens, markers and cleaned easily.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng.jpg\" alt=\"04_ImageF_eng\" width=\"1280\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng-320x156.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng-960x468.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/01_Image_eng-640x312.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another important subject is <strong>the weight of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toy<\/a><\/strong>. Research suggests that weighted toys promote a sense of security for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children. It helps calm them when the surrounding environments makes them feel uncomfortable. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> is been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/design\/\">designed<\/a> with a slight weight that is contained inside. For any child, the weight is present, but not interfere with normal play, instead for an autistic child, this slight weight can help to lead them a sense of calm.<br \/>\nFinally, <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/design\/\">designed<\/a> to be customizable in order to not generalise or stereotype <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children. Using features such as magnetic limbs, a weighted body, an ambiguous form and a blank face, <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/145611194\">Pooki<\/a> aim&#8217;s to appeal to as many children as possible with an engaging product that will aid them in emotional, social and cognitive development. <strong>So this is a great example of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/\">toy<\/a> designed to truly benefit children, in particular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/category\/disability\/\">autistic<\/a> children.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we talk about autistic children and toys for them, we often associate a specific category called &#8216;special toys for special children&#8217;.\u00a0 It means that there are some toys designed for children with special needs such as autism, cerebral palsy or learning disabilities and so on.
