Cube Elephant Educational Toy Design

I want to turn the idea of “cube elephants” into a small educational tool for toddlers aged 1-3. The goal is simple: help little ones recognise elephants—and, by extension, other animals—through a sturdy, cube-shaped figure that immediately catches the eye and feels safe in tiny hands.

Here’s the vision:
• A single, stackable cube (or a short set) whose overall silhouette still reads as an elephant—trunk, ears, and tail hinted at with rounded, chew-safe contours.
• Bright, contrasting colours that reinforce animal recognition without overwhelming very young eyes.
• Toddler-proof dimensions: light enough to hold, large enough to avoid choking risks, with fully smoothed edges.

What I need from you:
• Concept sketches that show how the elephant’s key features fit into a cube form.
• A final 3D file ready for prototyping (STL or similar).
• Basic colour palette suggestions and any surface graphics (eyes, simple patterns) in vector format.

If you have experience designing toys for the 1-3 age range—especially anything that balances playful aesthetics with safety standards—you’ll be a perfect match.
