Toys

Our assisgnment: 

1. Look at your favourite toys. What are they made from? How are the different parts joined together?How are they used? Can you use any of these ideas in your own toy design?
2. Think about the types of toys that children of different ages play with. How might a toy for a baby differ from a toy for a seven year old?
3. Think about the toys that girls and boys might play with. Do toys have to be especially for boys or girls, or can they be used by both?

4. Design a toy -Choose a target audience for your toy and think about what they might like to play with. Create a number of designs and ask children in the target audience for their opinions. Could you create a survey to find out their opinions

5.Think about the cost of your toy. How much do the materials cost? How much might it cost to make? How much will you charge so that you can make a profit on each toy?

6. Think about the instructions that will need to be included with your toy and then write them.

7.Make some packaging for your toy so that it catches children's attention when they are in a toy shop.

8.Create some advertising (e.g. posters, radio adverts, video adverts or a website) to promote the toy to others.  

9. Put your work on your blog (some people are still working on these tasks but keep your eye on their blogs they will appear).
