toy design
Crafting children's amusements
Toy design is the creative and engineering process of developing playthings, from initial concept through prototyping to manufacture-ready specifications.
It combines industrial design, child development psychology, and safety engineering to create objects that engage children while meeting regulatory standards.
Toy designers must balance playability, durability, aesthetics, and cost constraints.
