CurioTots

A cabinet of curiosities for ages 3–5: open a drawer, find a treasure — a shell, a crystal, a feather, a beetle — and sort it. Is it shiny or dull? Hard or soft? Was it ever alive? Slow and calm; on-device.

Built for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

CurioTots's little cast each keep one drawer of the cabinet; Curie the curator loves every treasure and asks the first question of science: what do you notice about it?
