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.
