Children's Toy

1. Research

   • Questionnaires, this will help find out what people my age had as toys when they were younger and what colours and patterns they want
   • Going into toy stores and looking at what toys are in store at the moment and look to see what people are buying
   • Pictures of toys in shops both online and in store

2. Target Market

   • For children between the ages of 3- 9 years old
   • Parents of young children that are looking for toys, gifts and presents for the child

3. Cost and budget

   • The cost of the product is going to be around £20
   • The budget for the product is going to be £15
   • I don't have to eet a specific price range but I want the budget to be around £15 as i want a profit

4. Skills and equipment

   • I will need to know how to make a pattern piece. This means that I would need a steady hand while cutting and sewing together the toy.
   • I will need scissors, needles, pins , a sewing machine to construct the toy and patterned or plain fabric, beads, buttons etc.. for the componants on the toy

5. safety

   • This product has to be safe for the child to play with this means no choke hazards and loose
   • The beads and buttons would have to be securly sewn and there cannot be any pins left in as they might stab thems selves with it

6. Quality control

   • I will not have raw edges on the product that I can see
   • It will be pinned and tacked to ensure it will not move around while sewing it.

7. Constuction

   • I will write out a method using another one as a guidelines and then I make the proto-type I will know if I have to change the order
   • I will use a range of different techniques in order to get the best looking product and a cleaner finish

8. Colour schemes and influences

   • The colours I will use will range from white to orange for a contast and I'm thinking about also use deep reds and oranges for a burnt orange look. I might use creams and browns to do patterns.
