A slow and musical calligraphic tool made with and for my kids
It all started with my wife encouraging our kids to write strokes in the correct order. Since screen time is limited, I wanted to create something valuable and educational. Inspired by Apple's 'Hello' and calligraphy, I developed this writing tool. To foster a soothing environment, I added a musical element.
During a walk in Bishan Park, I saw someone practicing calligraphy with a wet brush on the floor. The ephemeral nature of the writing, which disappeared after a while, sparked an idea. I incorporated this impermanence to emphasize that calligraphy is about the moment, gesture, and satisfaction of the perfect stroke – not just the end result.
I hope you enjoy this 'protoplay' as much as my kids and I do! Press C to clear, S to save, and M to mute. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome!
