Project 1: Your first project is to generate conceptual designs for three toys. Each toy should be based on a fundamental physical concept. Examples of existing toys like this would be slinkys, rockets with baking soda/vinegar fuel, and tinker toys. Your toys can all use the same physical principle or they can each be based on a different one. Your toys should attract a child's attention, be interactive and fun, be self explanatory, be durable and safe, ideally allow for cooperative play with groups of children, and ideally engage all of a child's senses.
