A large percentage of the population in Peru is located in rural areas, such as the community of Chillaco, in the Lurín river basin, in Lima. The closest school to the town is far away for children, especially preschoolers; consequently, many of the local families have to educate their children at home or during their farm work. These children do not know the educational experience of an optimal cognitive learning, because they skip the kindergarten studies, the age where cognitive abilities of the pre-operational stage are developed; Executive functions are one of these essential skills for human beings to learn to learn. Taking as a reference the Reggio Emilia and Montessori educational methods, based on the autonomy of the kid during learning together with playful tools with the same purpose, the innovation gap focuses on the little attention for the cognitive learning of children in vulnerable contexts and without adult guardianship. From here we pose the following research question: How through the design of an educational toy the pre operational cognitive development of executive functions of children between 3 and 5 years of preschool age in the rural community of Chillaco in Lima is favored? Finding the opportunity to merge methodologies, tools, games and design in a favorable result for children's cognitive learning, Puyu was designed, a portable, friendly and accessible educational toy focused on learning executive functions while their parents work on the farm. DCH, etnographic methods, telephone records and literature review were used as methodology. Interviews were conducted with users, farmers and experts in pedagogical, sociological and psychological fields. The results showed that the children accepted the design proposal, showing interaction and curiosity to discover different and new ways of using it. The parents confirmed their approval and desire to experiment with at home and in the farm. In conclusion, the pertinence and relevance of an educational toy in rural contexts for cognitive development is reaffirmed, the same levels of enthusiasm are expected in the presentation of the final product.
