This　study　aims　to　design　and　develop　interactive　toys.　There　are　fifty　master　and　bachelor　industrial　design　students　from　our　institute　involved　in　this　project.　This　study　adopts　interaction　design　theory　and　experimental　prototyping　practices,　enabling　students　to　apply　simple　mechanical　and　electronic　technology　on　generating　interactive　design　concepts.　There　are　five　stages　in　the　design　and　development　process.　The　first　stage　begins　with　user　research.　Accordingly,　product　functions　and　morphology　are　investigated.　Text　and　visual　user　scenarios　are　created　as　well.　In　the　second　stage,　user-product　interactions　are　examined　in　order　to　explore　the　context　of　usage.　In　the　third　stage,　ten　sets　of　conceptual　designs　are　built　with　the　application　of　Arduino　based　interactive　prototyping　platform.　In　the　fourth　stage,　these　conceptual　designs　are　evaluated　by　users　and　technical　experts.　In　the　last　stage,　the　design　concepts　are　further　improved　based　on　evaluation　feedback,　and　are　processed　into　engineering　and　technical　prototypes.　The　challenge　lies　in　the　correlation　between　interaction　design　considerations　and　application　of　technologies.　The　findings　of　our　study　imply　a　principle　to　face　this　challenge:　bringing　users,　context,　morphology　and　technology　together　to　design　and　develop　interactive　products.　Interaction　design　methods　provide　our　students　guidance　and　inspirations　to　generate　conceptual　design　ideas.　Experimental　prototyping　practices　facilitate　our　students＇　ability　to　turn　ambiguous　ideas　into　feasible　design　artifacts.　We　envisage　further　developing　our　experience　by　conducting　similar　interaction　design　research　studies　again　in　the　future.　Copyright　2013　ACM.
