In order to prevent children's accidents, there is a need for adults around children to understand their behavioral characteristics and take care of the environment, as well as the need for the children to learn and prepare for dangerous environments.
Therefore, I worked on the design of "a product that children and adults can learn about the dangers of their surroundings together" .
As a result of analyzing the "cases of children's accidents" collected by the National Center for Child Health and Development to arrange the preconditions of the design, (1) the cases of accidents differ in their nature for each age as a factor required for the design Needs several types of products, tailored to the age. (2) It is necessary to include a 'play' element in the product so that children can move forward and understand the hazard case. (3) Adults and children can learn about the risks and hazards of the environment not only children but also adults by learning dangerous cases together. It became clear that the product which considered three requirements of was needed.
