BAP 011 Felt Foods

Educational Equipment Set, 2017

This practice-based design research project, titled Design of Play and Educational Materials for Healthy and Balanced Nutrition* consisted of structuring a game setting for kindergarten children (aged 4-7) and designing a set of training equipment for this game made from felt, including illustrations and a sticker-book for Pınar Institute. The designs and prototypes were also exhibited as BAP 011 within Yaşar University. Pınar Institute continues to use this set when carrying out training in Kindergartens affiliated with the Ministry of Education.
