AB - This study analyzes the developmental appropriateness of digital play devices in children's exhibition spaces of public cultural facilities for toddlers (18~36 months) and proposes UX improvement directions. Field observation (22 devices), caregiver surveys (N=80), and IDI (n=7) were sequentially conducted at three national institutions across five theory-based areas grounded in Gibson's (1979) and Heft's (1988) affordance theory. Interaction simplicity and physical participation were identified as insufficiently meeting toddlers' developmental level in field observation, while survey means ranged from M=3.23 to 3.68. Triangulation revealed UX design directions toward structurally inducing full-body engagement beyond fine-motor and touchscreen-centered design. This study contributes as an initial empirical investigation of digital play device UX from a developmental appropriateness perspective for toddlers.
