Homework: Child Psychology
Instructions
For this homework, you will design a toy appropriate for an infant. The toy must help develop a certain skill needed in infants. With your knowledge of child psychology and infant development, you are the ideal person to create this toy!
You will create a model of the toy (remember that most infant toys are not electronic toys because they focus on fine/gross motor skills). Your model of the toy can be hand-drawn (you can take a picture or scan in a copy of the drawing), drawn or created on the computer, or modeled in some other way (again, anything created off the computer would just need a picture showing the model).
Next, you will create an advertisement promoting your toy and tell why parents should buy this toy for their infant. You'll want to promote the positive benefits it will have on their infant's development and/or skills. Be creative!

I. Specs Sheet (include the following information).
1) What skills will the toy help develop?
2) Safety hazards and/or features
3) Size specifics
4) What colors and/or sizes it comes in?
