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.

Respond to the prompts. Submit your completed assignment as a Word document to the assignment dropbox for grading.
