Unleashing the Power of Play, Together
We thrive on working with experts in play!
Whether you are a child development specialist looking to scale your impact on enriching a child’s life through play or an inventor looking for ways to amplify your licensing potential, we can help you achieve your goals.
Child Research Partners
EARLY EDUCATION AND CHILD CARE CENTER DIRECTORS
We are developing PLAY testing programs in partnership with early childhood centers. We collaborate with you to make sure the testing program meets the values, needs, and goals of your organization.
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS
We love to partner with specialists, and we can be the conduit to connect your domain of expertise to companies and organizations who need your help.
UNIVERSITY PARTNERS
Collaborating with educational leaders to continuously inform and educate ourselves is critical to maintain relevancy in the world of children’s products and programs. We are always ready to engage in research projects both qualitative and quantitative, including observational research; focus group discussions; ethnographic studies; on-line survey tools; design thinking.
Inventors
CO-DEVELOPMENT
We love to brainstorm and can provide the child focused insights to spark new ideas. As co-creators we can compliment an inventor’s skill set and support the entire concept development process. From initial insights, to prototype testing and guidance, we can co-develop a concept that kids will love!
PRODUCT PUNCH-UPS
Even the most successful inventors have a stable of ideas that haven’t made it…just yet. Let us see if we can help you bring those ideas back to life. We love to collaborate with inventors to see their great ideas through the lens of a child’s eyes, and how they might be reimagined with age-appropriate play-patterns or features, rethinking the the play experience putting forward the Developmental Benefits and Play Extensions, or how to reframe the value proposition to connect with the targeted consumer.
