Technology & Design A Suggested Idea for a KS 3 Project A Pull-a-Long Toy Mechanical Movement • This project provides opportunities for the pupils to develop their manufacturing skills whilst at the same time understanding engineering concepts such as: • rotary motion, linear motion, cams, eccentricity, friction, etc.. • Design appreciation may be the best option with this project – reverse engineering! • how could the head be made to go up and down when pulled-a-long? • could sound be activated when the model is moved?

To Design and Make a Pull-a-Long Toy RA Moffatt. WELB.
Situation / Design Opportunity: Young children aged between 3-4 years can be entertained by playing with toys. Interesting features on toys such as movement, sound, lights, etc, can provide additional fun! Design Brief: Using the information in your study of mechanisms design and make a Pull-a-long toy suitable for the above age group.
Design Task 1: Your first design task is to create a more interesting shape for the Frog’s body. NB: Make sure you know how to cut and sand this material smooth before making this change.
