Concept Statement
Ideation Development
#1 Sensory Stimulation
Leveraging cutting-edge soil detection technology, JollySeeding intuitively indicates plant growth stages and their specific needs. From pulsating lights signaling germination to soothing fragrances and gentle sounds, everything is powered by the innate energy of the soil.
JollySeeding is more than a toy; it's a harmonious ecosystem.
#2 Free Assembly
Using this Lego design, each module, identical in diameter, seamlessly fits together.
Children can craft their miniature gardens based on their unique tastes. These gardens can grow in size, potentially culminating in a magnificent expansive landscape.
#3 Safe, Reliable, Sustainable
Safety is the utmost priority, and sustainability is ingrained in our design. JollySeeding taps into the natural energy of the soil, guaranteeing a battery-free and secure experience.
#4 Simple Use
Simplicity is key for a toy. Hence, a tri-fold brochure for parents and children to peruse together is essential.
With Jollyseeding, children craft their gardens, experiencing the joy of watching plants flourish daily, akin to nurturing a close friend.
They not only bond with nature and enjoy sensory delights but also discover a realm where the growth of plants mirrors their journey.
