  Quirky Brief #6: Let’s Make Something Cool For Kids!

  By jess at 11:59 pm

  Remember how fun it was to be a kid? We do. So for Quirky Brief #6, Quirky’s takin’ it back. WAY back. We’re takin’ it all the way back to childhood. This brief’s for all the moms, dads, nannies, and mannies out there…

  Let’s make a really cool thing-a-ma-bob for kids.

  For this brief, we’re looking for products that cater to the 2 to 8 crowd. Could be anything, so let your imagination run wild. After all, we’re all young at heart!

  And hey, if it means breaking out the crayons and construction paper for your idea sketches, do what you gotta do. We won’t judge.

  Ideation is live. Submit your idea here!

  Kiddie Quirky

  By jess at 2:39 pm

  Your children may not be old enough to join Quirky, but that doesn’t mean they have to miss out on the fun of inventing.

  

  Point them to By Kids For Kids, a website dedicated to nurturing young inventors. There, they can read ideation tips, watch inspiring videos, and browse profiles of fellow innovators. They can also post their own invention ideas in the on-site Idea Locker and participate in design challenges sponsored by companies like Toys’R'Us, CosmoGirl! and the New York Stock Exchange.

  Even if you don’t have kids, check out BKFK to be inspired by the creativity of these young’uns… then hop on back to Quirky and put that inspiration to use!
