Today we were trying to understand how will make a product the fidget toy. To do so we saw a few videos today. To understand what kind of fidget toys are available in the market. We even did some research about how are those fidget toys made and how are they used.
Below are few YouTube links that will help know more about the kind of products we are aiming to make.
After seeing the videos we tried to make our own product. The idea we came up with is that we make a spongy jiggly fidget spinner attached which is attached to our fingers. We will use the idea of center of mass where how much ever you push the ball will come back to its position. The ball will be a balloon but made up more of plastic sheets which will be lined with hard wire and the center will be a small ball filled with a liquid which makes it squishy and it’ll be stuffed with a hard material.Basically it’s a small oval ball like structure which you can hold in your hand and is spongy , but it is attached to a ring like structure and can be spun using your fingers. This is what we have thought of right now, but after making our first prototype on Monday, we might change the structure a bit. Below are few illustrations of the product we are thinking to make.
Below is the list of materials we think we might need.
- Spring
- Balloon
- Corn starch
- Water
- Hard plastic
- Soft plastic
- Wire
- Bicycle glove
- Newspaper
Stay tuned to know what happens to our products first prototype on Monday.
