Abstract

We present a new set of toys and games especially designed to bring tabletop interaction closer to very young children. The use of these toys will be shown in an especially designed tabletop device adapted to children aged between 3 to 6 years old. Nevertheless, it must be pointed out that these toys use a tangible interaction approach that can be easily adapted to any tabletop device based on visual recognition software. The final aim of this work is to combine physical group activities with educative computer games, in a unique interactive experience.
