Idea 1: Big Bad Wooh

Sketch:

Description of Big Bad Wooh

• The BBW allows children of different age groups to enjoy and learn about two different concepts
  • Younger children (3-6) drop a ball through the pipes and view it going through the transparent tube course
  • Older Children (7+) can either do the above or even blow the ball through the course. Since the design is modular, older children can also create their own courses.
• This toy allows children to explore the phenomenons of gravity and/or air propulsion.
• The inspiration behind the toy were my nephews and nieces as I wanted a toy that each of them would enjoy despite being of different age groups.
• The cost is estimated to be ~$20 and since it is designed to be built by high density plastic, the durability and safety aspects will be of an acceptable level.
