Imagine a map that isn't just lines and streets, but a vibrant storybook, beckoning little adventurers to explore their city. What if every park, every museum, every child-friendly nook whispered tales of discovery, guided by friendly, smiling characters?

At Mapful.art, we don't just draw maps; we weave magic into cartography. We embarked on a journey with Dongguan's Child-Friendly City Initiative, tasked with a beautiful challenge: to transform the bustling Nancheng Street district into a wonderland seen through the eyes of a child. We spent countless hours listening, researching, and designing, not just for navigation, but for imagination. We put ourselves in tiny shoes, walked winding paths, and saw the world in vibrant hues and playful shapes.

From the meticulous mapping of every hidden playground to the creation of two delightful mascot guides, our process was a labor of love, culminating in a map that’s more than paper and ink—it’s an invitation. An invitation for children to claim their city, to discover its wonders, and for caregivers to easily navigate a world designed just for them. But what truly makes this map a testament to a city's commitment to its youngest citizen
