A Jelly Creature
Not all children know how to read, but they all love stories.
And that's how I created this little cutie :-)
QRCP is a creature who doesn't really live in Arcadia but gives access to its stories and its world.
That's complete autonomy. No need for anyone else, Mum or Dad, to listen to the adventures of our favourite Arcadia heroes over and over again.
QRCP and his QR code nose allow children to discover and listen to the stories in audio.
Fun and playful, QRCP is also bilingual! It helps children get used to different accents and to the sounds and rhythms of other languages, while gradually discovering just how rich and multicultural the world is.
Just like a famous English dessert, the iconic Jelly, which partly inspired QRCP. A little floppy, not always in shape, as shapeshifting as he is slimy, he’s a chameleon who never looks exactly the same. He changes, he adapts, and above all, he surprises.
This appearance is no accident
QRCP encourages children to accept that things can changed their shape, their colour, or their function. A little way to remind us that the same thing can take different forms and that, very often, there are several possibilities.
QRCP is also a magical encounter.
With him, we go from paper to audio, from touch to listening.
A little code that becomes a gateway to another sense: hearing.
With his big funny nose.
A nose you can scan!
Rather strange… but finaly, is it surprising? No, not when it comes to Arcadia.
For children, it's a magical nose. Like Bewitched, where a simple movement of the nose was enough to make the unimaginable appear.
With QRCP, the question is no longer « Where does the QR code lead? »
It becomes :
« Which adventure will QRCP take me on this month? »
