Snake Fun is a toy designed for autistic children. It’s an anti-stress type soft toy (that can also be used as a simple puzzle) made of foam rubber covered with various fabrics.
Snake Fun is the perfect toy to calm and distract the person playing with it in crowded places. It’s very light and designed in the best way possible to fit even in a pocket. It’s auto-corrective with the colours and the fabric, making it possible for the autistic person to play with it without any help of their care-giver.

We started our project trying to find a well known problem to "solve" about autistic children. We went ahead with 3 concepts and tried to pick out the best fitting solution. In this case our problem was that the autistic children are very unpredictible in crowded and loud places and they become extremely uncomfortable. So, in order to calm them we thought of designing a toy that can help them focus on a certain action or on their senses.
