The Story

THE TOOTHY TEETHER

Designed with fun-loving, open heart and mind to draw inspiration from different media, culture, and nature to create the Toothy Teether. Timothy believes the early days of newborn-hood is an important time for babies to feel connected to their environment and encouraging new ways of learning through the 5 senses. The Toothy Character assembly line comes with different personalities, soon to be released to encourage learning of familiar and un-familar shapes.  Toothy aesthetic is for the extra-Sensorial experience in both design and function.

Design

  • LEARNING BY DOING
  • The importance of Brain Storming the toothy toy was studied time and again in the context of design function and sustainablility. Discussing the risks of creating “mediocre teethers” were the basis of creating something extraordinary. By first sketching , it led to rely more on analytical skills and tools without the use of 3d tools & cad, while having a strong knowledge of engineering basics, non-verbal tools and the art of engineering.  
  • TOOTHY TEETHERS can reach all the way back to the molar area to ease your little one’s gums wherever they feel bad (molars come in later, between 13 and 18 months, so it’s also good for older teethers). The handle is easy for your baby to hold, and the whole design is BPA and phthalate free, essentially made from plants and Packaging a mixer of (Plant)Plastic & Paper.

visual

  • CREATING TRENDY
  • Babies are simply curious their adventure begins the moment they are born. By combining a nostalgic Saturday morning, feel-good aesthetic, memorable pops of color, and an uncompromising commitment to the safest, highest quality materials made from plants is redefining baby goods in pursuit of better, cuter, and safer products.
  • Designing Toothy visual aesthetics provided the right scaffold for the “learning by doing” a natural choice to inject the aspects of creative exploration through fun and play. Inspiration from other products led to more innovation and results from research on engineering and toy design education.
  • Cognitive sciences was an important starting point in first creating the toothy teether. The approach aimed to empower toddlers with frameworks for play and comfort. Freehand sketching, at the appropriate stages in the design process led to the creation of Toothy.
