The research object in this paper was an interactive educational toy-“funny tap” English learning machine for children. After integrating the design concept of this product from an industrial design perspective, we selected specific interactive technology and completed the engineering. Moreover, we have conducted tests of work principles and effect of usage based on the sample machine. The final result indicated that there is a promising and huge market potential to apply the new interactive technology to development of educational toys.
