Toolkids - a tool for creative fun learning

Toolkids is a series of interactive CDs of creative tools for the very young, with universal language independent interfaces, to make them suitable for use by anyone, anywhere, without requiring any translation or without any language constraints.

The series is designed keeping the learning needs of 3 to 6 year old children, while the individual tools can be used long after, even as the child grows older. Toolkids is a new learning experience that makes it fun while learning.

The Toolkids series is designed to bring about an understanding of the underlying principles of digital media, and their creative possibilities, acknowledging that digital tools (used in computers, or as embedded in various other digital creation equipment) will be the main tools of the new generation.

Toolkids aims to excite the child’s imagination about the possibilities which exist when using digital tools, as compared to physical tools. For example, a digital pen can transform itself instantly to write in any colour, can change its strokes and have special effects: possibilities which don’t exist in the physical world.

All Toolkids CDs share a common easy-to-use, language-independent interface; so as to reduce the learning time for a new module, and allow the child to start playing with a new module immediately. Toolkids interfaces rely heavily on well-crafted icons developing a strong visual vocabulary at an early age.

All CDs have completely original material and images, chosen carefully to appeal to and excite the very young, and keeping them engaged with hours of learning fun. Material in the set is presented in 5 categories: 1. Basic Tools; 2. Combinations; 3. Actions; 4. Animations; and 5. Transformations

All CDs allow open-ended creative possibilities, making them ideal for developing the faculties of creativity, imagination and innovation. This is a great value product for parents and children and will provide many hours of fun and play.
