Whispers to Magic…

Here are some Montessori-inspired educational items I designed, following an in-depth UX study, to support babies' development in their first year!

They're divided into sections based on developmental phases, ensuring each product supports babies' growth at the perfect time.

For ages 0-3 months, inspired by the challenge parents face in navigating the educational toys world, I created a collection of products designed with UX principles at their core.
As the baby's hand-eye coordination develops, they will also begin to explore objects with their mouth.
Montessori Topponcino.
Pre-book featuring geometric shapes that offer a degree of complexity without overwhelming the child or forcing them into premature deciphering skills.
Inspired by Munari, this mobile features alternating black and white patterns and pops of primary colors, stimulating visual development and perception of movement and depth.

Sensory squares that encourage tactile exploration and focus on a single sensory quality for infants aged 6 months and up.
Tactile bunny that stimulates visual and tactile senses and promotes cause-and-effect learning in infants during their early explorations of the world.
Designed fabric animal panel that invites sensory exploration and fine motor development in infants during tummy time.

Everything changes, and I love that!

I designed this clever milestone cube.

It's a photo holder that captures the important moments of the baby's first year, but that's not all! Flip it over, and it transforms into a versatile storage box, pen holder, or stylish candle/plant holder. Plus, on one side side it features an inspiring quote to add a little magic to the everyday moments.
