Industrial designing for children can be a tough job, but also very rewarding. A lot of people focus on the design and aesthetics of their toy instead of what is really important: how it will be used! This blog post talks about the process and some common mistakes that designers make when industrial designing for children.
One of the most common mistakes that industrial designers make is designing a toy for their own children instead of other children. When going through this process, it can be very easy to get caught up in what your kids will want and not take other children into account.
Another mistake that designers make is not considering the child's developmental stage. Toys need to be designed in a way that will help the child grow and learn, not just be entertaining. It is important to design toys that will be easy for them to manipulate, otherwise, they are just frustrating.
The final mistake that designers make is designing a toy with too many features. This can overwhelm children and cause problems later when the toy requires more complex actions which lead their attention elsewhere. A good way of avoiding this issue is by having your child test the toy out as you are designing it. This way, you can get feedback and make changes if necessary.
Designing children's toys is definitely not an easy task, but following these tips should help you create something that both children and parents will enjoy!
The process of industrial designing for children can be long and complicated, but it is important to get it right! Make sure to take all of the child's needs into account and create a toy that is both fun and educational.
