For this project I decided to recognize one of my favorite childhood characters- Minnie Mouse! As a child, I was in love and obsessed with everything about Minnie mouse (to the point where I not only dressed up as Minnie for three consecutive halloweens but also wore the costume to daycare for months on end)….

Here is my altered toy design! It is a rubik’s cube planter, and I plan to plant one of my little succulents in it! Initially I was just going to do the rubik’s cube planter, but after deciding I wanted some drainage, I designed a little saucer to go underneath and catch the water. I…

I initially had a lot of trouble coming up with an idea for this project, because I didn’t have any toys growing up, so instead, I decided to take inspiration from a friend’s childhood.
Altered Toys Project
After some challenges with using the full version of ZBrush from the mini version, I have finalized my design! I am creating a spin on my childhood favorite Littlest Pet Shop. I think I am calling my version “Little Scaries”. I plan on adding strange and unusual painting to the finished product. If I have…

For the altered design project, I wanted to 3d print one of those brain teaser puzzles. I used to do a lot of those when I was younger. I tried to use the design of a more simple one, the star because it is essentially the same piece printed 6 times over. It took a…

I love functional pieces, and I think taking my meds is extremely boring to the point where I don’t even want to muster up the energy to open a bottle. I did think about a pez dispenser like Shane, and shoutout to him for posting his stuff because it helped me stop second guessing my…
Well here goes Leona’s Toy Design
Since I always want a LEGO mug since I was 3, sadly the first and only time I went to Legoland they were out of stock, so by the power of Tinkercad I decide to create one my own. The mug design is pretty simple, and for the handle, it is a combination of 2…

I used a Charmander 3D model and added other models I found for sunglasses and a microphone in TinkerCad. Charmander model: https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/art/sculptures/charmander-pokemon Sunglasses: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/a367IcaEfeA-sunglasses Microphone: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2tdzmuizh93-prop-microphone Then I loaded the model into MeshMixer and lowered the poly count. There were some errors with self intersection in the model which I found with Inspector in Analysis…
Altered Toys Design: Shane
When I was a kid, I had a Batman Pez dispenser. It was super cool. Now that I’m older, I no longer have the need to carry candy around with me all the time. But what I do need to carry is my dietary pills for my gluten intolerance. So my plan is to make…

Evil LEGOs For this project I decided to take the annoying tendency LEGOs have of stabbing unsuspecting feet and make it worse. I’m modifying the top nubs on some standard LEGO bricks to have spikes so they look as awful to step on as they feel. To turn it into more of a cohesive art…
Altered Toys Design
For my design, I thought of the most basic toy I could think of : a ball. I thought a lot about the ball and how they are usually bouncy and round and how you can bounce them off surfaces. For my alteration, I decided to add a bunch of spikes to the ball, essentially…

Thinking about childhood toys I remembered this funny little beanie baby that I had gotten around Halloween.. All I remembered was calling him “Plumpkin the Pumpkin” I know I needed to alter him someway but I was sure how would make sense for me… then (with my moms help) I remembered I was obsessed with…

One of the board games I played with my family a lot when I was younger was Chinese Checkers (or Stern-halma). It’s a 2-6 player game and sorta has the same rules as regular checkers with a few exceptions. For this project I wanted to recreate my own board for 2-6 players. In the past…

When I was initially thinking about the Altered Toy Design, I was quick to think about how I would want to make a posable dragon. Dragons were a big part of my childhood, I have smaller figurines of them and when I would play with Legos, I would end up building dragons out of the…

For my toy design I related two characters that I loved growing up: Bagpuss and the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland. Bagpuss is from an old British show about a toy cat that lives with a little girl in a broken toys shop. At night Bagpuss comes alive with all the broken toys. I had…

For this project I chose to show my my childhood of making Rube Goldberg machines have played a role in shaping me as an engineer. Through playing with my hands and making assemblies of subassemblies that all have to work together to preform a simple task i learned about my love for making and designing….

I’ve played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons and really enjoy fantasy as a genre, so I decided to create a model of a dragon to be used as a tabletop figure, either for playing D&D or as a marker in a board game.
Altered Toy Design – Emily
The toy I chose to do was a parody of Candy Land. I might end up switching this idea to a different board game or toy but I’m not sure, also because I’m not sure if a board game can count as a toy. I tried to think about the toys/games I played as a…
Altered Toys Design – Grace
For this design I started by thinking about what I spent the most time doing as a child/ adolescent and I remember spending hours upon hours reading books. But now a majority of my life is spent on a laptop be it for school or for entertainment . So I decided to morph the 2…
