School Technology Project

[Lord Thrawn]

Guys, hello. I'm currently in the research phase of my Design and Technology project in which I'm making an educational toy for young children (I'm seeing 2-4 years old at this point but don't let this affect your answers). I need your help, parents, to get some information if you wouldn't mind.

Firstly though I am limited in what I can do, it will involve a circuit and a mechanism but these won't be complex. I'm thinking maybe I'll make it a button pressing system where the child would respond to a verbal stimulus by pressing a button and then being rewarded with a movement of some kind.

If you would kindly answer these few questions, it would be much appreciated.

1.What colours should the toy feature?

2.What kind of materials should the toy use?

3.What simple function should the toy have?

4. How much would you be willing to pay for the toy you have envisioned?

Of course, if you have anything else to add that I'm not asking then don't hesitate to say. Hope you guys can help. :-)

Cheers,

LordT

1.What colours should the toy feature?

Something not black/grey.

2.What kind of materials should the toy use?

Razor blades! X-D Maybe something lightweight, so the parents aren't tortured lugging the thing around, canvas for strength perhaps?

3.What simple function should the toy have?

Something that lights-up?

4. How much would you be willing to pay for the toy you have envisioned?

Why the hell would I want anything educational? :-P

Think like you're a parent. ;-)

And if the child get's it wrong, they're rewarded with a small electric shock... >:-)

I'm joking of course. Please, please don't do that.

I wouldn't know how to anyway!
