Counting Dana Game
Character
Deciding on the aesthetics of my character, I decided to analyse other popular children's characters from which I have collected; most characters are animals with playful smiles. I chose to create a turtle using a circle and hexagon. I limited myself to two colours because, at the age of 2-5, children are continuously attempting to express themselves by drawing, so if my character is easy to draw, it will make them happy to see the resemblance in their attempt to draw the character.
