Rou Rou

Rou Rou is an expressive toy for kids ages 4 to 6 to encourage dynamic play and develop fine motor skills. It was designed with regard to universal design to accommodate children with various disabilities. The aim was to help those behind in social development by giving them a familiar foundation, in the form of a toy, to learn facial expressions. By doing so, kids can develop an understanding of the emotional state of a person, and respond accordingly. Furthermore, the accessories, such as the face sphere and clothing, can be traded amongst kids to encourage fun peer-to-peer interaction, as well as broaden the lifetime of the toy.
