FROGGY FETCHERS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: TURKEY – CONCEPT CARD TOP VIEW: LILY PADS COME OUT HERE • What does the product do? • Each of the one - four children playing will be given a wristband to determine which coloured slot on the Frog is theirs (orange, yellow, red or green). The teacher will start the toy when all children are in position at separate sides/sections of the pool, at least 2 metres away from the toy. The teacher will pull the string, which will spin the lily padsout of the frog’s mouth, which rotates on top of the base. The lily padsthen spin in all directions within a 1.5 meter radius. As the lily pads hit the water, they will sink to the bottom. After all the lily pads have departed from the Frog, a timer for each coloured slot will start. The children must then swim/dive to collect the 5 lily pads that match the colour of their wristband and slot them back into their coloured slot in the Frog. • As the lily pads are slotted back in, the counter will increment by one to keep a tally of how many lily pads have been returned. When each lily pad is inserted into the Frog, they are checked to see if they are the right colour, if they are the wrong colour, the Frog will not accept the lily pad. When all of the correctly coloured lily pads have been returned, the timer will stop and the child’s time will remain on the timer until the “Reset” button has been pushed. This time can be compared to previous attempts to see if the child has improved. The children can also compare their times with other’s scores to see who is faster. • What can people accomplish with it? • Improves mobility, swimming, diving, co ordination & agility skills, holding breath • What physical actions do users perform with it/ on it? • Swimming, diving ,reaching, grabbing, slotting discs into holes, holding breath, body movement • How do they interact with it? • Slot discs back into holes • How does it respond? • Blows discs out, Takes discs in, increments counter by one PULL STRING RESET 3 03:03 0 COUNTER TIMER FOUR COLOURS + FOUR WRISTBANDS SLOT DETAILS: • Age group: 8-10 • Scale: • BASE: 40cm x 40cm, height of 10cm • 2ND TIER: 25cm x 25cm, height of 10cm • 3RD TIER: 10cm x 10cm, height of 10cm • EYES: (squares) 4cm x 4cm, height of 5cm (FOR EACH EYE) • DISCS: are 5cm in diameter & 0.5cm in thickness (20 discs altogether) • Skill development aim: • develops mobility, agility, coordination, swimming & diving skills • Ideal context of use: Swimming school/ supervised swimming area • Technologies used:buttons, pulls back string • Materials:Discs are foam, frog is plastic & foam/floatation devices, pull string is string & plastic, button is plastic, elastic wrist bands
