※For toddler aged 3 and above
SeeSaw is an educational toy aimed at fostering a new form of communication between toddlers with different languages and customs. SeeSaw invites toddlers from all over the world, who are not yet able to speak or operate a computer with any degree of proficiency, to use a touch panel and create stimulating visuals together. In other words, it invites toddlers to partake in repetitive, non-verbal communication much in the same way they would if they were playing on a seesaw.
Touching the monitor creates colored balls to appear on the screen. The shapes created by two toddlers connected only over the Internet appear on the screen much in the same way as if they were scribbling on opposite sides of sheet of glass. Responding to the shape drawn by one toddler creates an intuitive form of role-sharing. The toddlers continue to build on their own drawing giving it new meaning and form. In order to build on this thought process, balls continue to drop from the existing shape on the screen. The two toddlers then become caught up in progressively changing the visual, playing a game of non-verbal catch ball.
