The one-on-one interviews conducted at the local mall
The one-on-one interviews conducted at the local mall and the feedback from the online surveys gave some insightful information regarding the reception of the Kids Magical Box. The results are based on a study of 23 individuals who responded through online means and personal interviews. The survey began by asking a qualifying question. The respondents were asked whether they had children, and 78.3% of them answered yes. This qualifying question was necessary because the target audience had to be individuals who had kids. After all, the product is meant for children. The parents were also asked how old their children were, and based on the results, 63.6% of the respondents had children who were between one to five years old, while 36.4% had kids who were between five to ten years old. These were the ideal candidates for the survey because the Kids Magical Box is intended for use among kids below the age of ten. The educational value which the invention provides the kids who belong to this age group is essential because it helps in their growth and development while keeping them engaged and out of trouble.
In response to the question concerning how the kids spend their time playing, the majority of the respondents answered that they play with toys. Children learn a lot through such activities because their senses become engaged, they get to use their imagination, and they also learn how to interact with others. The results are essential to the project because, in light of the importance of the toys to a child’s development, the Kids Magical Box will be well suited for children to achieve these developmental milestones and more. The invention would be an excellent addition to a child’s toy collection because it educates and entertains. The follow-up question asked the target audience if they thought the Kids Magical Box was helpful. An overwhelming 91.3% of the target audience answered yes. Based on this observation, the invention can be a success in terms of assisting in a child’s development and keeping the kid busy during playtime.
It was also crucial for the survey to find out whether the parents felt that the invention needed any adjustments to make it better and more child friendly. The target audience was asked about their opinion on how the Kids Magical Box could be improved, and 87% of the respondents answered that they felt the toy needed more games. Currently, the Kids Magical Box only comes in three variations. These are based on the restaurant theme, the airplane theme, and the school setting theme. Thus, the results from this question were vital because they show that although the parents were currently on board with the invention, they still feel that more could be done to make it better. One parent mentioned that it would be nice to include a game park theme that would allow the kids to familiarize themselves with the different animals on our planet.
Many respondents felt that their kids enjoyed the Kids Magical Box, with an overwhelming 87% of parents answering yes when asked if their kids enjoyed playing with the toy. The survey then asked a follow-up question asking the parents why they thought their kids liked the Magical box. Many of them said that their children enjoyed learning from the invention. This information is crucial because it shows that the invention serves its purpose as an entertainment tool as well as an educative instrument. In response to another question, all the parents felt that the Kids Magical Box was helpful because it offered their children a new way of learning. The Kids Magical Box was appealing to them because all the people surveyed had children who were ten years old or younger because of the opportunity it gave their kids to learn new things about their surroundings.
The material of the Kids Magical Box was also an essential factor to consider because of the safety of the children and the durability of the product. The next survey question asked the target audience if they liked the material of the invention. The majority of the respondents answered yes, therefore, the feedback from this outcome is that the material used to produce the Kids Magical Box was considered durable and safe for use by the children’s parents. The respondents were also asked a follow-up question regarding the type of material that their children liked to use, and 56.5% of them answered that papers were their kids’ preferred choice. Based on this observation, it is likely that the Kids Magical Box should include parts which are made from paper material.
In summary, the survey produced some interesting findings which, when put into consideration, might guarantee the overall success of the Kids Magical Box. For example, it was evident from the results that many parents had complete faith in the invention’s potential to educate their children as well as entertain them. The outcomes also showed that the device was well-received by many households.
The importance of toys in educating children and helping in their growth and development is often overlooked. Although many inventions have been put forward to fill this role in the past, most of them were not durable or user-friendly. The survey and interviews offered vital information about how the Kids Magical Box was received in the market and also the aspects that the children enjoyed. The information gathered also provided the surveyor with knowledge of what changes need to be made to make the toy better. This was significant since the next step of the project was to produce the item in large numbers and distribute it to as many households as possible. The survey and interview results also showed that many people are aware of the importance of toys in their children’s lives and that most of them find the invention very helpful. One vital observation was that parents felt that the Kids Magical Box needed to add more games to engage their children in more aspects and expand their learning and grow their knowledge. Turning the invention into a popular toy among children will require the inventors to consider this aspect. If provided more time and an appropriate budget to conduct a more extensive survey, it would be necessary to interview more people by visiting schools during PTA meetings or closing day. This will allow the surveyors to get feedback from more people and even get the chance to market the product to those who have not heard of it before. To eliminate all possible biases, I will have participants review the outcomes obtained from the survey and ask if the interpretations made correctly reflect their beliefs.
