Background
If we want to know how products designed for children are being received, we must ask the experts themselves.

An inspirational tool for playful, engaging and participatory child Interviews

Children are experts at being children, and no one can offer more meaningful inputs regarding products for children than the children themselves. However, the designer is critical of the traditional interview process used in the evaluation of a product. Hence, she challenges the established interview format and has created a more playful and child-focused structure that makes the interview process itself more engaging for children aged 4-7 years; it also gives the children an opportunity to have a say in the interview process.
