An Educational Toy for Reading
BOOKTENT is a product for the children's age between 3~7 where reading habit is about to start. Children at the young age love their own space. BOOKTENT was created based on this idea to provide their own secret, cozy space to use as their reading space.
Many people have an experience of making their own space from using cardboard boxes. We used this memories from their young age to make a BOOKTENT so that children can feel more comfortable and familiar in the space. BOOKTENT is made with cardboard paper on 'green products'.
BOOKTENT presents an environment where children can become more familiar with books. Through this, children can develop a good habit of self-reading. Moreover, BOOKTENT is the world's first educational toy where children can build their own creative space utilizing panel form structures with unique purposes such as for reading, drawing and playing.
BOOKTENT Concept

- High-priced product is not necessary because children are growing fast
Elephants are an expressive animal.
Elephants expresses their various emotions through sounds and motions.
Children will learn their own way of expressing emotions by drawing and coloring their thoughts after reading. Elephants-shaped BOOKTENT will become children's 'knowledge warehouse'. This will increase children's ability to concentrate and develop their own creativity. Elephant BOOKTENT created by each child will be a unique invention with full of their own expression.
We wish every child will listen to many things through Elephant's big ears and keep these big thoughts to their small body to grow BIG.
