Mihyung's 10 toy concepts


1. - When you press "start" button, the toy gives a random topic. You need to say one word related to that topic (e.g. if the topic is 'flower', you might say 'tulip'), and pass the toy to next person. After a certain period of time (it can be pre-setted (1min, 3min, 5min, or random)), the toy gives a huge noise (somewhat like an explosion) and the person who holds the toy at that moment loses the game.

2. - A computer program that can simulate multiple nail tip designs. After you finish designing, you can connect to the printer and print out the images on a transparent-sticker-sheet so you can actually put them on your own nails.

3. - Holes are punched on the fabric so you can sew with a specially designed needle that does not have a sharp end.(for children) You can make small accessaries or practice sewing.

4. - When you press a switch on the back of the doll (e.g. arm, leg, elbow, eye, foot, etc), according part of the body of the doll blinks with a red light. The blinking stops when you finish doing the operation.

5. - At least 3 people are needed to play this game. One person thinks of a word, and draws number of lines that matches the number of alphabets of the word he has in his mind. The other two people guesses the alphabet. If one gets it right, he takes out a box from the bag (there are boxes with scores 1, 5, 10, 20). After every alphabet is filled, the person with higher score wins.

6. - There is a ball on a ladder, and you have to match different types of blocks to make the ball slide down to the other side.

7. - It is a picture frame that has a clay-like surface (more like a play-dough, so you can use it over and over) and you can decorate it with small stones, toys, or any ornament you like.

8. - There is a golden ring in the middle of the box, and you have to solve the knot to get the ring out from the box.

9. - There are pictures of animals on the card, and the rullet has categories like -- bird, mammal, raptile etc --. You have to get as much card as you can get that relates to the category after you turn the rullet.(e.g. mammal -> rabbit, monkey, zebra etc..)

10.- Play rock/paper/scissors and put a marble inside the dolls tummie if you win. as the boy gets fatter and fatter, his face gets red. when his cheeks blink, stop putting the marbles and take out all the marbles inside his tummy. Count the number of marbles you put (there are two different colors of marbles) and the person who put more marbles wins.

10 Toy Ideas














Toy #1 - Guess What

- question and answer type of game
- need two players sitting face to face
- the toy consists of a box that has holes where bars go through
- each time one answers the question (like trivia Q's) s/he can move the bar through the box, which will push the bar of the opponent
- between the bars are chips that will fall when the bar gets through the box
- to prevent from chilps to fall (because each chip scores certain points) one has to answer the question correctly and have the chance to move his/her bar
- the box splits in half so you can set up one's own amount of chips and the lengths of the bars( those are beyond the opponent's knowledge)
- Winner gest a gold ticket (that grants you sth good) and the loser gets the bronze
