Flowpot

Flowpot is an object that aims to improve the relationship between parents and children through growing food.

The main aim is for children to spend more time with their parents, as this is one of their principal demands.

My intention is that while the children are having fun, they learn to follow a good diet, which is a highly necessary factor in today's society, and to take care of the process of growing fruit, which will help them have a little more responsibility.

The public I have in mind are children between 4 and 8 years old. These children will always be accompanied by their parents, who will be my indirect public, as the game is not focused on them but they also play a key role.

Technically speaking, the object consists of three parts: the lid, the main part, which contains what has to be planted, and the base. It is a standard-sized object, so the children can handle it without any problem.

It works as follows: the seeds are planted, and after three weeks, they are transplanted into a flowerpot so that they can complete their growth process and reach the plate.

During these three weeks, the children will be able to enjoy watching the seeds grow. They will also be able to observe both the part of the plant that we usually see, the top, which is above the ground, and the bottom. In other words, they will be able to see the roots grow because the hydrogel in which they are planted is transparent.
