NATURE PAPA draws its design inspiration from natural history museums. We aspire to offer a micro-ecosystem platform capable of nurturing the growth of animals and facilitating the germination of plants. Children can easily get involved, actively participating while also conveniently observing the real-time development of both animals and plants. The profound natural scientific mysteries encapsulated by these living organisms will be presented in the most accessible manner within everyday environments. This product will become a "natural museum" within people's homes.

We have chosen two materials, ABS and PP. They are easily color-customizable, adapting well to the bright and diverse color requirements, and they exhibit a strong sense of texture. Additionally, these materials are highly durable and resistant, maintaining their stability and resistance to erosion when exposed to water, soil, as well as interactions with animals, plants, and microorganisms over an extended period.

Integration is a key feature of this product. Using exclusive boxes as units, we have integrated all the hands-on practical requirements related to natural science education for primary school students spanning six years of curriculum. This includes raising silkworms, tadpoles, snails, and cultivating plants like Impatiens, Morning Glories, aquatic plants, and root vegetables. It serves as a companion and practical assistant for children throughout their natural science curriculum.

“The emphasis on ease of observation and recording" is seamlessly integrated into every aspect and usage stage of the product.

For quick access to environmental factors, a circular top plate is provided, displaying temperature, humidity, and time, among other details. Furthermore, the entire plant and pet box can effortlessly rotate, a feature intentionally designed to enhance ease of observation.

The design makes full use of the space around the edge and bottom of the circular tray, equipping it with storage functionality for easy retrieval of tools every time children engage in planting and breeding activities.

We advocate the use of clean energy, and therefore, we choose solar power to power the entire device. Solar panels are strategically positioned on the top circular tray to provide observation lighting and display environmental parameters.
