Play is so important to the cognitive and physical development of children, and toys are often the best way to stimulate that growth. The design brief from Kids II emphasized exploring current needs to create a toy for toddlers that is universally enjoyed and usable, no matter the child's capability.
​
Children with disabilities grow, play, and develop differently than the average child and often have special needs that must be catered to in order to be comfortable. Designing too specifically for these needs can lead to isolation which can be just as detrimental as discomfort over the long term. Our goal was to iterate upon current toys and technology to develop a toy for that helps toddlers of all abilities achieve developmental milestones through unique interaction and play.

Kids II was so impressed with our work that they purchased the rights to our designs and released a product later that year based on our project.
