Designing An Original Toy For Children Aged Eight And Under

Specialty Toys, Inc., sells a variety of new and innovative children’s toys. Management learned that the preholiday season is the best time to introduce a new toy, because many families use this time to look for new ideas for December holiday gifts. When Specialty discovers a new toy with good market potential, it chooses an October market entry date.

This paper will summarize the ERR articles from the bulleted topics and issues. This paper will also include summaries on toys that may encourage violence and aggression, toys that may promote pro-social behavior, gender stereotyping in toy selection, and cultural stereotyping or, lack of cultural awareness in toys.

In an online class setting, it can be very challenging to work on a group project that requires the participation of every group member and completing the project on time. This group project was successful one each individual had because we used proper communication to assign tasks, roles, and deadline to complete the project.

The types of toys children play with can affect how they develop. Toys can help or hinder a child’s development in intelligence, social skills and personality. Certain characteristics may be genetically entwined in a human being, but some characteristics and behaviors can be learned, from parents, surroundings, and the toys with which a youngster plays. Elise Moore, author of “How Do Toys Aid Development”, stated “if play is the work of the child, toys are the child’s tools” (Moore, 2).

Many fun and highly detailed accessories such as a barbecue, ice cream freezer, store rack, patio tables, lounge chair, observation deck chairs, glasses, hot dogs, bushes and flowers

Having a school with a student base of many talents, allows for many options for fund raisers, whether it may be a bake sale or provide an event such as a dress down day, to which profits will be collected for the project. The many opportunities to fundraise allows for many ways to financially support the project. Furthermore this project would require a lot of people and a lot of planning. Since there would be lot of modular boxes, and the display space is quite big, there would be a lot to organize, such as teaching all the participants the design, construction of the boxes, and even staining or painting of the boxes. Since my school has a stem side, it not only has an design lab which can be used to build the boxes, but also has many students who have been trained or can easily be trained to work with power tools. This not only provides a space to perform the building of a project, but also provides a lot of eligible hands to be the builders. Furthermore having volunteers already familiar with power tools will help with safety concerns. There are also many qualified staff members who would be able to train or supervise use of power

The various systems currently in place will be replaced or integrated into the new system.

Behind the project is the group of young minds working together in pursuit of perfecting

For over a century toy makers have targeted children of different races, and backgrounds to supposedly bring joy, and happiness to all children. These toys are used by so many children around the world, and mostly every child in America. Toys like Barbie, G.I. Joe, and various others are used in many common ways such as promoting growth, companionship, and innocent playtime. Most children have beloved toys that bring them so much happiness, joy, and fun, but could these same toys also be supporting various forms of oppression for women, and people in general? This is a question that goes much deeper than the toys themselves, and is rooted in society as a whole going back thousands of years, and has its start in the division of classes.

For the first Electronics Project, my team worked together to build a circuit and used a Multimeter to measure multiple elements of the circuit. There were three tasks, one assigned to each member of the group. There was a task assigned to each group member: Circuit builder, measurer, and the data collector/calculator. Because of this group collaboration, we were able to work quickly and efficiently to get the project done on time. This project was definitely a learning experience for all of us because this was the first time we had been expected to build a circuit. We worked together and followed the instructions step by step. The measurements we were expected to take included resistance, voltage, and current which is what the data collector used to calculate theoretical values for the upcoming measurements.

Whether to have plenty of toys is a contentious subject, with supporters maintaining that most toys are of primary significance to cultivate children’s intellectual and mental development, whilst opponents claim that a wide range of toys can lead children to take things for granted and expect too much from parents. Paradoxically, strong arguments exist in support of both sides of this debate, which imply that it is worth examining both points of view before reaching any logical conclusions.

2. Cooperative learning directed towards focusing on students’ team work while doing their project assignments.

The reason why we dragster cars is because many students welcome any chance to escape the traditional classroom environment of textbooks and teacher-delivered lectures. Designing, building, and racing CO2 dragsters creates a climate where the student is actively engaged in discovery, rather than passively absorbing information. Each student’s design is their own. They innovate their own solutions to problems and craft their cars according to their individual ideas and tastes. Whether a student is more concerned about speed or aesthetics, the process is a creative outlet. The dragster activity challenges kids in new ways. They conceive their own design, placing emphasis on what they believe to be the most important aspects. They’re responsible

As I walked up to class I noticed that they were an object place at every group. The give task was to observe the toys using your five senses to figure out the function of it and what cause it to function as its does. As a group we had to move to the different station counter clockwise. Out of the five toys that the professor presents to us the two that appeal to me the most were the Balancing Bird and the Drinking Bird.

Even though good changes in semester two, the new challenge raised when I was doing the poster-making project in a group, that I found it was difficult to divide jobs to each teammate. A poster consists of several strong-connection parts and the design of each part needs everyone’s effort, so finally we decide to do it together face to face. But the problem of low efficiency followed. In
