Anyone familiar with TOYS R US?




P


This is for a class:

1. Is the store divided based on gender, race, age, etc? Are there male and female sections for merchandise? What kind of "sections" are there?

2. For the male and female section, rate the merchandise on a scale of 1-5, 1 being low 5 being high on:
1.cognitive development
2.motor development
3.imagination growth
4. price and durability

3. What are some examples of toys from each category above, and how do they rank on a scale of 1-5 individually?

4.Where in the store are the scientific and discovery toys? (toy laptops, etc)



Answer
1. Ages and then gender specific.

Main Departments: Preschool & Infants Toy, Imaginarium (educational toys), Boys, Girls, Rzone (video games & home electronics),Outdoors & Sports, and Babies R Us.

2. This question needs to be more product specific. Based on the wide variety of products offered in each department.

3. Check out the differently abled toy guide which gives guidelines on different educational values of a wide variety of toys for all ages and genders:

4. It varies by individual stores but Imaginarium - is generally in a central location right between ages and genders.

help!! i have to create a toy for my child psychology class and i have no idea what to do. it has to be something original - something that is not already on the market. see the guidelines below.

after taking PSY350 (Child Psychology), you seek employment at a toy manufacturing company. the first project that you are given is to design a toy. in order to complete this assignment, you will have to use what you learned in this course and describe how your toy will stimulate an infantâs sensory, biological, and cognitive abilities.
a. for what age(s), will your toy be designed?
b. describe your toy with as much detail as possible.
c. what sensory, biological, and cognitive abilities will your toy take into account?

any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks!



Answer
Hmmm ... After thinking for a second I guess you should "create" a fine motor skills toy. I work with kids all day and think about this. First off fine motor skill is working with the fingers... Can this baby put links together? Can they pick the rattle up ? Moving on to Toddlers puzzles and so on even tieing your shoes anything with your fingers and grasping tiny things. I would work on that maybe something with several different items on it which I guess I cant come up with an idea from the top of my head but I hope this helps some what !!
