 EcoFriends 

Prompt

Summary: Hands-On-Learning Marketing is requesting internal proposals from our design team for
the development of a non-electronic, non-technical learning toy for children age range of 2-4 years of
age. For presentation at 2022 Toy Fair NY.


Background &Objectives: Hands-On-Learning primary client is Fat-Brain-Toys of Elkhorn, NE.
Each year they feature their best selling toys and are on the constant lookout for a new trend and
direction. We at Hands-On-Learning have consistently have had our products selected. Although Fat-
Brain is our primary client we need to offer the same product to other retailers – modified or
customized in some way at to be brand specific. To be clear we are looking for new unique products not
re-hash of an existing product.

Layers of insulation foam were cut and glued together to create the initial shape of the playset.

Each layer's edges were sanded down to make it child safe.

Air-Dry clay was molded into the animal friends.
