The Kind of Toy that Second Graders Like

We had a video with the 2nd graders a few days ago. From the video I learned about some of their preferences and what toys they wanted. After that I had some ideas in my mind about what toys to make for them.

First of all, I think the toy can not be too scary, if the children see the scary toys and become afraid of the words, they will not play. If they do not play with the toys we make, then it is meaningless to make toys for them. So I think not too scary.

Second, I think the toy should be an animal. But not just an ordinary animal, for example, some of them like cats, some like dogs, some like rabbits, etc.. We can use so that the toy has a rabbit's head and body and a cat's tail and the like.

Third, I think it can not just a doll. Because if it is just an ordinary doll, the children may not play it too often. We can design many of them, and then design some balls. These balls can be their favorite cartoon theme of the ball. For example, the Pokemon Elf ball, the seven dragon balls. Then those balls as bowling balls so that they have bowling balls to knock down those dolls. This way I think they will like.

I think my opinion can be referred to, because there are playable toys children will be happy to play. So that the toy is made meaningful.

我們在幾天前有跟2年級的孩子們視訊。從視訊中我了解到了關於他們的一些喜好和他們想要的玩具。在這以後我心裡有了一些為他們製作什麼玩具的想法。

首先，我覺得這個玩具不能太恐怖，要是孩子們看到恐怖的玩具而感到害怕的話，他們就不會玩了。如果他們不玩我們做的玩具那麼為他們製作玩具就沒有意義了。所以我覺得不要太恐怖。

第二，我覺得這個玩具應該要是動物。但不是只是一個普通的動物，比如說他們有的喜歡貓，有的喜歡狗，有的喜歡兔子等。我們可以用讓玩具擁有兔子的頭和身體和貓的尾巴之類的。

第三，我覺得它不能只是一個娃娃。因為如果它只是一個普通的娃娃，可能孩子們不會太常去玩它。我們可以設計很多隻，然後再設計一些球。這些球可以是他們喜歡的卡通主題的球。比如說寶可夢的精靈球，七龍珠等。然後把那些球當作保齡球讓他們有保齡球去擊倒那些娃娃。這樣我想他們會喜歡。

我覺得我的意見是可以參考的，因為有可玩性的玩具孩子們才會玩的開心。這樣做出來的玩具才有意義。
