Designed for enhancing children’s understanding of structures of Chinese characters, this learning tool is composed of 5 different types of papercrafts designed to introduce 21 radicals and 100 Chinese characters formed with these radicals. Each papercraft features one radical from which the children can form a Chinese character by slotting in a corresponding cardboard. The children can also learn a lexical word formed with the specific character. The radicals and the lexical words are all presented along with illustration pictures to enhance learning and make the learning process more interesting. There are also information sheets which introduce the historical changes of Chinese radicals.
