3. Rudolph badges
When we did our market research everyone thought that reindeer badges would sell the best.

Then we added googly eyes and pom poms for the nose and eyes.
Finally we inserted a safety pin in the back so people can wear them with pride!

Brown felt
Small red pom poms
Pipe cleaners
Marker pens
Scissors
Glue

How we make this:
First get the wood and thread the string.
Secondly paint the wood in the colours chosen
When dry, we write in marker pen our message. E.g. Santa come this way, cookies milk and carrots over here, Santa clause is coming to town.

5. Snowman
Snowmen are a very popular Christmas theme so we are using this object for one of our products.
How we make them:
First we fill the sock with cotton wool.
Then we tie an elastic band loosely around the middle of the sock.
We then a tie ribbon around the elastic band.
After that we cut out a circle of paper to make the hat.
Finally we sew the buttons on and draw a face.
What we need:
Marker pens.
White socks
Cotton wool
Elastic bands
Ribbon
Paper
Glue and scissors

6. Market research
What we found out:
Most of our ideas were dull to the younger children, but with our feedback we made them more fun and interesting
The children informed us that if our products were to sell they would have to appeal to younger children.
Now we know that they will sell because pushy toys sell well with all ages.
What we did:
Firstly we went out onto the field at break time and asked the rest of the school some questions about our inventions.
Then we showed them a questionnaire about stepping into business.
We took their advice on what they liked and disliked and came to the conclusion of these three products.
Our market research showed that people liked our ideas, and that our inventions would sell well.
