toys at design stage

DAISY ON A COT

This little toy is a twin to the highchair, creating some familial sweetness!  

 

CLOUD ON A COT

The dreamy cloud will hold pictures of sheep that go around  & around and jump,


pram
FOR PRAM BUMPER 

..for cuteness overload  :

In reality the colours could be varied and the animation on each flower would differ.  

ENCLOSED SPINNING TOP

As the baby pushes down the handle, the plate at the bottom is spun by torque. The innovation comes from the picture panels above the base.

REG

Reg is a pull/push-along toy - measuring  30 x 20 x 20 cm.

Picture panels can either be 4 rigid or a carousel of 40+/- flexible pages (so giving a longer animation) - like a circular flickerbook.

ideas to use animation for role-play

The animation sparks imagination and re-inforces the play. 

LAWNMOWER

As the child pushes the lawnmower toy, an animation showing grass cuttings flying around (we have a video demo of this).

 

SHOPPING TROLLEY

Shopping trolley.  As with the lawnmower, this role-play equipment comes to life with its animation panels positioned on the rear axle: animation could be fruit/veg etc pouring into a trolley basket.

ICE-CREAM MAKER

1950's style fruit-machine /foam maker.  

Bubble bath/water mix is poured in through the top and the foam is produced along with the animation.  

The glace-cherry slides to determine which animation to present. 

We have many more examples of bath toys..

WINDMILL

(pictures yet to be applied)

As the windmill's sails spin, they present animation.  

This model could be made out of paper and card.

MULTIPLE PICTURE PANELS

(pictures yet to be applied)

We call this a picture abacus. The lever is pulled to reveal multiple panels that spin at the same time. 

The picture panels could show some of the alphabet with animal pictures to enhance learning, or the panels could create a kaleidoscope effect. 

PIGGIE

Piggie here has a window on his back, the window conceals a carousel of pictures. 

Not only is he an endearing  little model and the animation might show a leaping litter of piglets for instance  :)
