From the productive point of view, an object suitable to be industrialized, as the product design culture states, must be manufacturable

MATERIALS FOR KIDS AND TOYS
an introduction
In the past, due both to limited markets and lack of materials knowledge, toys could be manufactured by traditional processes, like metal sheet drawing

Senses stimulation
Sense of sight: colours probably determine the most important kind of sense stimulation; some types of classes of materials, like polymers, allow to choice almost all colours parameters (hue, nuance – darkness, saturation –)

Senses stimulation
Sense of sight: the so called “new materials” sometimes allow to configure high level stimulation

“Functional” and “structural” materials
Some of the materials herein indicated are functional, because used to exploit some well defined characteristics; anyway the most important characteristic of a material is the “structurality”, because materials, first of all, must resist

Materials safeness
Selecting materials for a new product, especially in case it is dedicated to kids, a very important goal is to guarantee their safeness
