Sistematización de la experiencia de la creación de un juguete didáctico que potencie todas las áreas de desarrollo de los niños a partir de 2 años

Abstract

In Guayaquil city there is a lack of toys that help two-year-old children to strengthen their skills, and these are the tools to motivate kids gain different skills and learn new things according their age, so it is extremely important to provide quality toys that are created with this purpose. This project is framed within this reality, with the objective to create a toy for two-year-old children that comply with this purpose, besides being versatile to fulfill a variety of functions according to the skills acquired by the child in his or her development. After making an investigation, interviewing education professionals and toy makers, children observations, toys analysis, and a theory revision of the areas of development, SPLIT was created and tested in different social class schools in Guayaquil city. This first prototype suffered some changes, which were applied to produce a second prototype for it to be tested again. For the presentation of the last prototype an event was made, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of toys in a child´s development, and for the product to be delivered to 5 schools.
