I can invent a toy.

Ask yourself these questions first:

• What is my toy made of?
• Is my toy of the past, present or future?
• Who is my toy for? Is it for girls, boys or maybe even adults?
• How much would my toy cost?

Then:

• What does your toy look like? Draw a small diagram with labels.
• You could write a list of instructions of how to build your toy.
• You could draw an advert of your toy.

It’s up to you! Let’s see if you can show me how your toy is better than others!
