Awayvirus: A Playful and Tangible Approach to Improve Children's Hygiene Habits in Family Education

Despite various playful and educational tools have been developed to support children's learning abilities, limited work focuses on tangible toys designed to improve and maintain children's hygiene perception, habits and awareness, as well as fostering their collaboration and social abilities in home education contexts. We developed \textbf{Awayvirus} to address this research and design gap, aiming to help children gain hygiene habits knowledge through tangible blocks. Our findings indicate that a playful tangible interaction method can effectively increase children's interest in learning and encourage parents to become actively involved in their children's hygiene and health education. Additionally, Awayvirus seeks to build a collaborative bridge between children and parents, promoting communication strategies while mitigating the adverse effects of the challenging the post-pandemic period.
