This polyhedral toy for children combines a series of developmental games which integrate audio-visual, interactive, and entertainment functions. The toy incorporates logic, music, colour, and other elements, aiming to comprehensively enhance children's perception, thinking, and hands-on abilities through the joint guidance of audio-visuals. This, in turn, promotes the development of children's cerebellum.

The toy consists of five games that teach children new knowledge and skills in a fun and educational manner. For example, in the "Flower Rotation" and "Gear Workshop" games, children develop hand-eye coordination by rotating or sliding the parts. The "Track Module" game incorporates logic training to enhance children's thinking skills. The "Music Notes" and "Geometric Puzzle" games use everyday visual elements such as CD players, piano keys, and geometric shapes in vibrant colours to focus on children's musical and graphic perception skills.

This children's toy's unique polyhedral structure allows multiple players to use it simultaneously, making it a helpful tool for parent-child communication or children's companionship, which helps improve children's communication and social skills.

Moreover, the toy is designed with safety and environmental considerations in mind. It uses non-toxic and environmentally friendly solid wood and specially polished edges and corners to prevent injury during play. The removable parts are made of food-grade silicone, which provides users with a soft, skin-friendly touch.
