Abstract

This paper focuses on early childhood education aimed at promoting maritime military culture and science education. It proposes the design of an educational board game based on a maritime military theme, intended to provide children with foundational learning. Through the introduction and popularisation of knowledge regarding ships and maritime navigation, children can develop an understanding of China’s naval affairs from an early age. At the same time, parents remain keenly interested in experiential, interactive education for their children. Many parents face challenges in selecting early learning toys and are increasingly prioritising the importance of subconscious education and companion-based parent-child interaction during their children’s development. This project is aimed at pre-school children aged 3–6. Based on the fundamental principles of convenience, safety and ease of use in children’s toys, it integrates learning through play into daily life. During play, it cultivates children’s spatial awareness of shapes and expands their logical thinking. By gradually increasing the game’s difficulty, it encourages brainstorming and stimulates visual senses, thereby sparking creativity, achieving cognitive balance and enhancing cognitive abilities.
