The October 2014 Youth ideas focus on providing children and parents with products and services that enhance their lifestyles in a significant way. Education is a huge focal point, which shows that designers are attempting to meet the needs of children in ways that speak to them while developing their skills along the way.
These October 2014 Youth ideas come in the form of educational toys that encourage free play to allow imagination to reign, kid-focused grocery stores that narrow down convenient yet healthy food options perfect to pack in lunch bags as well as teen travel groups that introduce youth to different cultures. The October 2014 Youth ideas widen this target demographic's experiences in exciting ways.
