Scene: The child is enjoying eating sweet treats with a small spoon from a small paper cup, but also eating from the bottom of an wafer ice cream cone. The bottom of the ice cream cone is about the same size of the small cup. With the up close picture, one can see that the child has scooped additional contents red from the paper cup into the ice cream cup. Since the two objects around the same size, the child is using the edible ice cream cone like the paper cup.
Design Implications: One can design based on analogies based on similairies in physical size. The paper cup and the ice-cream cone bottom share similar physical aspects: 1) Size with relation that it can be placed in the childs hands 2) both are containers. As a result, the child can associate similar actions from the paper cup to the ice cream come. The actions are using the spoon to "scoop" and place things into the ice-cream cone.
