What the build has to support

Learning cards
Card products live or die on the card library: count, size, board thickness, coating and how a set is reordered. Agree the card list before the reader is tooled around it.
Interactive
Interaction means a defined response list: what a child touches, inserts or presses, how many replies exist, and what happens when the product is left alone. Fix the list before tooling, since each entry adds a part and a test.

Decisions this product type puts in front of you

  • The card library Card count, trim size, board weight and coating decide both the tooling and the cost per set. Settle the vocabulary list and the artwork before the slot or the reader is drawn around a card that may change size.
  • How a card is read A slot, an optical pen and a printed code are three different mechanisms with three different failure modes. Choose one and design the card stock for it, not the other way round.
  • Screen or writing surface If the product also writes or draws, decide the panel size, the erase method and whether the stylus is tethered. That choice sets the case, the thickness and the battery.
  • Audio and language Every card is a track. Agree the language list, the voice and the file naming scheme early, because adding a language after tooling means new cards as well as new audio.
  • Safety and packaging Cards are small parts to a safety reviewer, and they are also the thing that gets lost. Set the age grade and the market first, then design the tray and the refill pack.
