Abstract

During the author's Design course at the Federal University of Ceará, she learned about interactive books, children's books, character concept and toys. From the project started by the same in 2019, which involved the creation of a book that promoted the creation of narratives by the child, and knowledge acquired in the course, the author found herself faced with questions about what a toy book is, its characteristics and how the characters present themselves in the context of children's books, in addition to a personal interest in continuing the project started in 2019. In this way, this course conclusion work in Design, aims to develop a toy book that uses basic elements in the creation of stories: of scenarios and characters, allowing users to create their own narratives. For the development of the project, a theoretical study was carried out on the evolution of the children's book, the identification of types of interactions that the children's book-object usually has, its formal aspects (text, format, fold, color and material) and the study of characters concept in this medium in order to identify elements of interactivity and the construction of narratives that could strengthen the project. Methodologies of construction of narratives and methodologies of project were used for that, with stages of research, tests, definitions, revisions and finally the prototyping of the toy book “It has, but it's missing! Toy Book”.
