Concept 3
Concept
Take-Apart Toys is a toy that teaches the user about how things work. The plastic pieces are meant to break apart easily to reveal the inside workings of the object. An automobile engine is pictured above. This toy concept can be expanded to a large number of objects as well as varying levels of complexity for different age groups.
Other Technical Details
The pieces are mostly molded plastic, so mass-production will be quick and cheap. The pieces do have potential to be a choking hazard, so the toy is aimed at users old enough such that they will not attempt to swallow game pieces. The plastic parts themselves are extremely durable and will be able to withstand mild abuse.
