Questionnaire #2

My previous questionnaire focused on the opinions of parents and their experiences with clutter. Now, I wish to understand this issue with help from my primary users: the children. Below is another simple set of questions that I believe can help me formulate a useful and engaging design that is intuitive and fun for children to use:

1) How old is your child? Children?

2)What is your child's favorite game?

3) Favorite TV show?

4) Favorite Book?

5) Favorite toy?

6) What is your child's oldest toy that he/she still plays with?

7) If possible, please ask your child to draw a picture of their ideal "cleanup helper". In other words: who or what would they like to have with them to help them clean up their toys? (could be fictitious, let their imagination work.)
Please scan or photograph the drawn picture and send it to sandywang@eciad.ca.

If time permits, please take a moment to answer these questions, this will help tremendously in the design of the project, thank you!

To better understand the issue Bob will be dealing with, I posted the following questionnaire on craigslist:

1) How old is your child (children)?

2) Do he/she/they have their own rooms?

3) Are their rooms/recreational space often messy/cluttered/unorganized?

4) At what age are they the most unorganized?

5) What kinds of toys/items are often left unorganized? What kinds of toys/items are the hardest to keep organized?

6) What kinds of strategies do you use to encourage them to clean up?

7) Which kinds of storage furniture do you use? What works well for you? What doesn't work well?

8) What do you hope to have that you think could help your child/children clean up?
