Put'n'Play Cube

thingiverse

Have you ever witnessed a child bursting into tears, pleading with you to explain why their cherished CDs refuse to play anymore? CDs are an unreliable medium, prone to scratches when children handle them. We exhaustively sort CDs into their cases and replace non-functional ones, all while expecting toddlers to effortlessly operate CD players from the start is unrealistic. The concept of the Put'n'Play Cube was born by ripping kids' favorite songs or radio plays and loading them onto an MP3 player. Our objective was to make the toy as user-friendly as possible, with a minimal number of buttons, portable, affordable, compact, and innovative in its interaction, allowing children to easily trigger their desired songs. Furthermore, we insisted on incorporating personalized design options from the outset, enabling kids to adorn their player with beloved characters or items that trigger their favorite tunes.
