Hi,
I am a GCSE student (Y11) and need some help in answering some questions. It is for a controlled assessment which contributes towards my Textiles GCSE, specifically the Design section, where I have been given the task of designing a child's toy or plaything. I have chosen to use toddlers as my target market and of course, mums play a massive role in a young child's life so it is here that I need your help. The questions are about your child's toys and the answers are completely anonymous, simply research to learn more about my target audience. Thank you to anyone who completes it!
