In particular, this media is intended to help children recognise colours in three languages. This research is developmental research with the following steps: First, collecting information about the product being developed, conducting a literature review and interviewing teachers and parents. Second, planning product design in accordance with the results of the needs analysis. Third, developing the initial product form. Fourth, conducting a preliminary field test on 3 children. Fifth, revising the main product. Sixth, field testing on eight children. Seventh, evaluate the testing result for the next development plan. The result of this research is a prototype of a smart doll that is able to recognize colours in 3 languages. Based on the field trials results, the prototype of this smart doll can attract children’s enthusiasm for learning colours and improve their ability to recognise colours in three languages.
