Kid Creation

Stimulating creativity in children through DIY-focused innovations
Implications - Child creativity is becoming a concern for adults. Researcher Kyung Hee Kim's 2010 study of 300,000 creativity tests dating back to the '70s uncovered that creativity has been decreasing among American children, and that since 1990, children have become less able to produce unique and imaginative ideas. This harsh truth has spawned a number of innovations aimed at sparking childhood creativity, ranging from mobile DIY labs to creative apps for kids. The good news is that creativity can indeed be cultivated, and that any innovation that helps to nurture creativity among youth is sure to be welcomed with open arms. [More]

LEGOverse

The beloved toy brick is applied to countless design creations
Implications - Children and adults alike love LEGO, which explains why it has become part of everything from Christmas trees and architecture to interior design and even clothing. Filmmaker Jess Gibson even made a documentary about it. Titled 'AFOL: A Blocumentary,' the film is about 'Adult Fans of LEGO' and showcases why so many people are obsessed with the little toy bricks. Whether it's due to their nostalgia factor or their infinite modular possibilities in design, one things for certain: We live in a LEGO world, and the different designs to which the toy brick can be applied are endless.

Dolls become a foundation for charitable events and auctions
Implications - A variety of items have been created and used for charitable purposes, but one of the items most commonly used are dolls. Whether it's a Barbie doll, a Cabbage Patch Kid or an unknown figure, dolls offer a childlike sweetness -- and offer a simple way to incorporate celebrities into the initiative -- that appeal to consumer sentiment, encouraging them to donate or contribute to a cause.

Toy Couture

Fashions based on toys give consumers lighthearted apparel options
Implications - With conservative and polished dress the mark of a "grown-up," some consumers are fighting back by consciously embracing playful, toy-inspired fashions. Some examples may border on the extreme, but inspirations from toys are burgeoning as an aesthetic as designers experiment with popular knickknacks and consumers indulge their youthful sides. Whether they're based on Lego blocks or are clothes actually made of stuffed animals, these lighthearted creations truly appeal to the young at heart. [More]

Revisited Recreation

Board games are once again capturing consumer attention
Implications - There's no denying the proliferation of virtual and electronic games, but some consumers are beginning to prefer the retro version of this pastime. Today's board games -- often revamped renditions of traditional board games or reinterpreted electronic games -- provide a simplistic appeal as well as a nostalgic quality by allowing consumers a reversion back to old-school entertainment.
