cutlery design

after i decided on what my cutlery would actually do i had to investigate into what would children like and find visually interesting. i looked on websites for children such as 'toys 'r' us' and 'Argos', to see what children from specific age ranges play with. i created a mood board to show the toys that stood out from their shape, colour and purpose.

here you can see that most toys are thick, rounded, bright and colorful and easy to grip. these are all aspects i must consider when sketching my design. i also have to remember to include the USB and how to discreetly hide the device so there is no danger of the children pulling it out or breaking the fork.
