What Makes A Toy Interactive?

Question of the Week:


I recently took a pole about crochet toys. The question was which you you perfer, the cuties sit around toy or one that was interactive.


Interactive won hands down.




Now here is my qestion:


What makes a crochet toy be considered as interactive? The addition of magnets so that you can mover-exchange body parts?



Bendable Arms and Legs?A play set?



Something where each leg squeeks, music plays, etc?



Wheels that actuall roll?




Something with a purpose? Like this ring stacker?



Or ring toss game?


I can wait to read your responses!

  2. Thank you.
    I am hoping to get more ideas on how to add movement to more of my designs.
    Today I saw a pull string toy that made the wheels move and the head turn. I got one and plan on taking it apart and see if I can some how incorporate it into one of my projects!

    Yes! All of the above are interactive. Interactive means one thing affects another.

    The cause & effect of these toys make them interactive.

    Wonderful toys!
