We have talked to the kids and based on the information that we got, I believe that the toy has to at least fulfill three important points. The toys need to be special, gaining attention and needs to be able to be played by all kids. My team and I have also discussed ideas for this toy and I believe that a minifigure which is also a puzzle will fulfill all three points and the kids will also like it.
The first point is the toy should be speical because some of their answers were quite special. For example, some of them picked snake, elephant and cheetah. Some of their job choices were also quite special, for example, dinosaur researcher, king, pincess, police. Another kid even wanted to get a master's degree at math. I would also think that if the toy is not special the kids will stop playing with it after a short amount of time.
The second point is that the toy should be interactive because when we questioned them we could not get them to talk to us. They would just not unmute, ignore us or keep saying hello. However, after we started questioning them by making them have a competition with other groups and they started answering more quesitons. We also made it fair for them by allowing them to ask us questions if they answered all our questions. Using this game method we got a lot more information from the kids even the kids who would ignore us started answering our questions and interacting with us.
Lastly, the toy must be suited for those who have patience and those who have little patiece. When we talked to the kids, some of the kids had little patiecne when answering our questions while some of the kids were more patient. I also realized that the kid's personalities are very different based on the ansers they gave. For example, Jurassic Park is very different compared to cartoons on tv. Another example is that some kids run during their free time while some kids watch cartoons.
Ultimately, I believe the minifigure which is also a puzzle is the best fit for these kids because it is special, interactive and both the patient and impatient will be able to play with it. I also think it is perfect for us because this toy is doable for us and can be made using the tools we have.

我們和孩子們談過，根據我們得到的信息，我認為玩具至少必須滿足三個重要的點。玩具需要特別，引起注意，並且需要能夠被所有孩子玩。我和我的團隊還討論了這個玩具的想法，我相信一個也是拼圖的小人仔將滿足所有三點，孩子們也會喜歡它。
第一點是玩具應該特別，因為他們的一些答案很特別。例如，他們中的一些人選擇了蛇、大象和獵豹。他們的一些工作選擇也很特別，比如恐龍研究員、國王、公主、警察。另一個孩子甚至想獲得數學碩士學位。我還認為，如果玩具不是特別的，孩子們會在很短的時間內停止玩它。
第二點是玩具應該是互動的，因為當我們詢問他們時，我們無法讓他們與我們交談。他們不會取消靜音，不理會我們或繼續打招呼。然而，在我們開始通過讓他們與其他組競爭來質疑他們之後，他們開始回答更多的問題。如果他們回答了我們所有的問題，我們還允許他們向我們提問，從而對他們公平。使用這種遊戲方法，我們從孩子們那裡獲得了更多信息，甚至那些不理會我們的孩子也開始回答我們的問題並與我們互動。
最後，玩具必須適合有耐心和沒有耐心的人。當我們和孩子們交談時，有些孩子在回答我們的問題時幾乎沒有耐心，而有些孩子則更有耐心。我還意識到，根據他們給出的答案，孩子的個性是非常不同的。例如，侏羅紀公園與電視上的卡通有很大不同。另一個例子是，有些孩子在空閒時間跑步，而有些孩子則在看動畫片。
最終，我相信這個也是拼圖的小人仔最適合這些孩子，因為它很特別，具有互動性，耐心和不耐煩的人都可以玩它。我也認為它對我們來說是完美的，因為這個玩具對我們來說是可行的，並且可以使用我們擁有的工具來製作。
