Project Two: Komal's Toy Proposal

PROTOTYPE:










HOW TO PLAY:

The hook is to be attached at the back of the pen or pencil. When one rotates the pencil the ball is to be catched in a cup.


MATERIAL TO BE USED:

The materials which will be used to make this toy are; a wooden cup, a plastic hook and a jute string attached to a wooden ball having a smiling face expression on it.

 

FEATURES THAT MAKES IT FUN:

It is something enjoyable. People of any age can play with it and have a good time pass. Catching a ball in a cup is tricky and fun. One keeps on playing until catches the ball at least once. It can be attached or removed as per user’s choice. If one wants to write something it can be removed so that it might not disturb during work. It is portable, can be placed in handbags. Whether one is traveling in bus or attending a boring lecture one can have fun. It does not have clicking or another annoying noise to disturb others. Anybody who sees it even for the first time can play it because it is simple and does not need any instructions to be followed. 


TEST OF PROTOTYPE:

Many people played with the prototype, mostly had fun. Few things which I noticed and others mentioned were:

- The size of the hook was too big

- Few pencils or pens were wider or loser to enter the hook

-few advised me to attach an eraser with the string rather than wooden ball.


 IMPROVEMENTS:

The size of the whole toy can be reduced as well as toy's hook could be made available in different sizes so that it can be attached to various sizes of pen or pencil. Eraser is not compulsory as it is removable.


FINAL PROPOSAL:

A hook toy to be attached at top of the pen or pencil in order to play with it. Rotate pen or pencil to catch the ball attached to string in a cup. Available in different sizes.
