Aquarius Toy Kit is an innovative educational toy system designed by Dr. Hakan Gürsu that consists of 40 interchangeable pieces allowing children aged 5 and above to create various fish designs through creative assembly. The kit, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Toys, Games and Hobby Products Design category, comprises 7 heads, 5 eyes, 7 bodies, 10 fins, 5 spines, and 6 tails that can be combined in multiple configurations to form unique fish characters. The design employs a thoughtful combination of materials, featuring wooden components for the heads, tails, and bodies, polypropylene elements for the fins and eyes, and is packaged in a polycarbonate container with a cork cap, measuring 300 x 300 x 300 millimeters in a fish bowl format. This educational toy system serves multiple developmental purposes, including the enhancement of three-dimensional recognition skills, form convertibility understanding, basic abstraction capabilities, and visual technique development. The modular nature of the kit extends its play value through numerous possible transformations, while its washable components, compliant with international safety regulations, ensure hygienic play conditions. Beyond its primary function as a creative toy, the kit doubles as a therapeutic tool for children with psychological needs and promotes animal appreciation through playful engagement, making it particularly effective during bath time activities.
