(H)OUR PLAY

(H)Our play is a product to stop digital distractions such as work from parents and prioritising the quality of time with their children and family.
The product uses a whiteboard for children to use their creativity by illustrating activities and events that families will do together. The app allows parents to add the event into their schedule, which will stop them from working temporarily.
Problem:
With everything nearly going back to normal, working parents start to work outside of their homes. As a result, a significant amount of information that we have received is about parents struggling with their quality time with their children as they are juggling their time with work.
Process:
By connecting to educators and specialists who work closely with children, we understand the benefits and importance of learning through play in children's development.
Through our connections to parents and families, we gathered many are worried about their quality time with their children due to work.
We found that arts and crafts are prevalent in most households, where children can use them collectively with the right tools and resources.

But how does it work…
Long Term Impact:
We hope to educate the importance and benefits of quality time between parents and children through our product. Even if the App or board isn't being used in the future, we hope that working parents will take their time off work to spend time with their family and create memories together.
Users can use the whiteboard for many different uses other than (H)Our Play. The whiteboard could use it through children's development for their education and creativity. The parents could also use it if their children are not using it anymore.
