MOODOODLE
Kids struggle with emotions. My app offers a fun, interactive way to learn about feelings, understand their causes, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. It's emotional intelligence made fun!
RESEARCH
Moodoodle goes beyond emotions lessons. It empowers kids to navigate their inner world with confidence. Engaging activities foster emotional intelligence, helping them identify feelings, understand triggers, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. This self-discovery journey equips them to manage emotions, build resilience, and thrive in all .
DESIGN
Nine years teaching showed me traditional methods struggle to engage kids in emotional learning. Moodoodle, born from this need, uses a playful mobile app with interactive elements to empower children to manage their emotions.
Kids are a whirlwind of emotions! To capture this vibrant landscape, I played around with two contrasting themes for the app, each designed to resonate with different feelings.
KEY AUDIT INSIGHTS
Our audit focuses on keeping things clear and simple for young users. We'll check the app's interactivity, how emotions are visually shown, and if the difficulty level lets kids learn and grow without getting discouraged.
CHALLENGES
Moodoodle faces fun challenges: keeping kids engaged (short attention spans!), making emotions relatable (simple but not too shallow!), and teaching healthy coping mechanisms (with child development experts on board!).
Wireframing & Prototyping
Moodoodle starts with wireframes - basic mockups showing the app's structure and how users will navigate it. Then, interactive prototypes let us test the app with kids to see if it's easy to use and the emotional learning activities are fun and effective.
user-friendliness
Prioritizing user-friendliness, Moodoodle features clear navigation, age-appropriate icons, and alternative communication methods for introverted users. A clutter-free, calming design fosters a comfortable space for emotional exploration. Through user testing, the app refines its approach to empower all children to confidently manage their emotions.
