Children's educational toys evaluation photography competition

Tangram has a wide range of applications in modern times, including parents' use to improve children's intelligence, schools' use as examination questions to help students understand geometric figures, and designers' use to design household appliances to facilitate the storage, display and decoration of furniture.

Before Tangram became an educational toy, "Yanji" and "Butterfly" were mainly used as tables for entertaining guests. They can be placed in any combination according to the number of guests and the size of space. Their main functional features are convenient dining, strong spatial adaptability and practical articles. After Tangram became an educational toy to bring people's imagination and creativity into play, its emotional function gradually became prominent. People can not only put together colorful graphics with puzzles, but also have fun, exercise their intelligence and gain a unique emotional experience in this process.

The figures spelled out by the jigsaw puzzle are very interesting and ordinary. People can use jigsaw puzzles to spell out pavilions, birds and animals, landscapes and vegetation of different shapes. These figures are pictograms composed of geometric figures of different shapes, which are rich in form, vivid and ingenious. For example, putting a jigsaw puzzle together into a human figure shows pictographic features visually. This human figure spelled out by geometric shapes is different from the "human" expressed in design works such as photography and painting. Although it looks "very similar", its formal language is abstract and concise, full of interest. The reason is that Tangram has a strong ability to express things with simple geometric figures, and the graphics it presents are very vivid. This modeling method can bring rich inspiration to designers' creation.

Nowadays, the presentation of Tangram in all kinds of design works has tended to be life-oriented. For example, the "Tangram Bookshelf" designed by Italian designer Daniele Lago in 2002 uses the principle of jigsaw puzzle to divide the bookshelf into seven modules with different shapes. Users can combine these seven modules at will to form different bookshelf shapes.

Bookshelf is a functional furniture that integrates storage, display and decoration, and has distinct learning, office and display attributes. The design of traditional bookshelves is relatively monotonous and conservative, focusing on functional factors while ignoring visual factors. "Tangram" skillfully combines function and form, making the whole space more agile and tasteful, which has a good reference for the design of modern office furniture.

Tangram has evolved from the original "Yan Ji" and "Butterfly Ji" into today's educational toys and functional furniture, which fully shows that the practicality of Tangram can be continuously improved and applied by people. In the field of children's educational toys, Youli Youci Technology Co., Ltd. has also improved jigsaw puzzles. Combining jigsaw puzzles with magnetism can be played not only on the desktop, but also on the vertical surface containing iron and magnetic materials. It can also paint on the equipped magnetic panel, combining magnetic puzzles with painting scenes, so that parents can tell their children a vivid and beautiful story.
