-        Child Development
-        How different toys can educate and see the effects
-    Watch videos on talks about this topic 
-    Read essays and articles and book. 

2.     What approach(es) will you take and what processes, methods, materials and  tools  are to be involved in research into your practice?

-        Working with different materials to create 3D toys.
-     Thorough use of my sketchbook, documenting my           findings.
-     Interacting with children.

3.     What preparation or investigations do you need to undertake for your creative practice to take place? 

 - I intend to be working with children over the summer in creative activities. I can ask questions and discover first hand and see for myself the impact toys make with children. There is a lot of research out there on this topic to gather second hand information as well.


4.     What research do you need to undertake regarding who your creativity is for?

- My target audience will be for young children. Therefore, what I make will have to be suitable for the age range.
