- The present invention relates to toys and, more particularly, a multi-faced toy enabled to express a plurality of different emotions like sadness, anger, happiness, and surprise.
- Human beings are complex emotional creatures. Every human has a multiplicity of emotional expressions based on underlying feeling(s) or thought(s). Every human being whether understood or not has different emotion al states ranging from happiness, sorrow, anger, or disappointment, etc. And emotions change sometimes without warning and in an unregulated manner for kids, the developmentally challenged, nonverbal and/or cognitive deficient adults, and others. Humans have more than two emotions, but most toys express only two emotions, some only express one emotion.
- In short, current emotionally expressive toys tend to be binary.
- As can be seen, there is a need for a multi-faced toy enabling users to express a plurality of different emotions like sadness, anger, happiness, and surprise in a successive manner.
- Acting as both a toy and a developmental/communication tool, the present invention can be used for indicating and expressing the emotional state of an individual user as they enjoy it as a toy. The present invention adds more depth to expressing human emotions as in sometimes vague and hard-to-decipher emotional states can be singularly and clearly represented. It also gives the developmentally challenged, non-verbal child and/or adult suffering from cognitive difficulties more options to express to others how they feel at a given time as well as how they feel differently over a duration of time. The present invention may embody emotional logs adapted to track daily emotional health in long-term health facilities or other clinical settings.
- This multi-faced toy/device when selectively moved to a particular emotional expression helps the individual zero in on what emotion(s) they are feeling at a particular time for the benefit of others. Accordingly, the individual can selectively communicate to others their shifting emotional states, thereby allowing for empathy to be expressed if necessary or as a critical indicator for mental state regulation and observation.
- The present invention enables a plurality of emotional expressions for non-verbal users who are having a hard time verbalizing their emotions. In sum, the present invention aids a user in expressing emotional state to others, thereby serving as a communication device, toy, and rehabilitation tool all rolled into one.
