Idea Two:
This idea is to show the negative impacts on a child's development when they only play with toys considered for their gender. Research has shown that children need to access a range of toys and play experiences in order to develop areas such as spatial, social, perseverance and fine motor skills. For example, toys focused on action, construction and technology help with spatial skills, problem solving and encourage being active. Toys focused on role play allow children to practice social skills, and arts and crafts help with fine motor skills and perseverance. Boys and girls need the chance to develop all these areas, however many stores divide toys into separate sections, which means both miss out. These ideas would be communicated in a style similar to that of an unknown designer researched during the module OUGD402. A series of posters would be produced featuring three-dimensional graphs and charts made from children's toys, such as Lego bricks, in order to show statistics and research into children's development when they do not have the chance to access all areas of play.
Materials:
Lego bricks would make up bars on a graph, whilst various children's toys such as model trains and Barbie dolls would make up the different sections of a pie chart. The toys would represent a corresponding skill which can be developed in children from play with this toy.
