Topic Selection: The instructor will post a document early in the quarter that will give each student a choice of two possible toys to complete this assignment. You must complete the assignment on one of the two topic choices assigned to you.
Assignment Overview: In this assignment, you will analyze a children’s toy or game based on cognitive, physical, and/or psychosocial development of infants, toddlers, or middle childhood. You will analyze how the toy/game aligns with major developmental milestones and normative behaviors for its intended target age range and that age range’s cognitive, physical, and/or psychosocial needs. You will also recommend at least one modification that would improve the toy/game and provide a rationale on how this modification would enhance at least one of the developmental domains (cognitive, physical, or psychosocial). You will support your analysis with relevant concepts from developmental theories.
