Objectives: To explore the role of themed museum cultural and creative products in children’s education, focusing on design, educational value, and interactive engagement. The study aims to address current design limitations and highlight how these products foster cultural awareness and learning. Methodology: Combining literature reviews, surveys, and case studies, this research analyzes product design, user preferences, and cognitive development theories to align creative products with children’s learning stages. Results: Interactive, educationally enriched products like puzzles and DIY kits significantly enhance children’s engagement and learning. However, limited diversity and depth in current designs highlight areas for improvement, emphasizing cost-effective and versatile solutions. Conclusion: Themed museum cultural products enrich children’s education by blending culture and fun. To maximize their potential, innovative designs must seamlessly integrate learning and play, meeting educational and recreational needs. Implications: Museums should prioritize interactive, educationally rich products to attract children and foster learning. Insights can guide educators and policymakers in enhancing museums’ roles as informal education platforms. © 2024, Artseduca. All rights reserved.
