Orientador: Roberto Alcarria do Nascimento / Banca: Cassia Leticia Carrara Domiciano / Banca: Fatima Ines Wolf de Oliveira / Resumo: O brinquedo é um objeto lúdico que a criança utiliza durante boa parte da sua infância, proporcionando-lhe um desenvolvimento por meio de desafios e descobertas, representando, portanto, um elo importantíssimo entre a criança e o aprendizado. O designer tem um papel fundamental quando projeta um brinquedo. Ele deve ter a consciência de que desenvolve uma ferramenta de auxilio na formação de uma mentalidade dinâmica e criativa, além de construir um artefato que transmita prazer, alegria e satisfação. Entretanto, quando a criança não enxerga o produto, torna-se complexa a maneira de compreender como se projetar um brinquedo para este tipo de usuário. É nesta questão que se atem este trabalho, que visa relacionar três pontos: o design de brinquedos e a deficiência visual; com o intuito de apontar características que sejam fundamentais na elaboração de um projeto de brinquedos para crianças não videntes. Desta forma, espera-se que esta pesquisa sirva como parâmetro para futuros projetos de brinquedos / Abstract: Toy is a playful object that the child uses during a big part of the childhood, providing the child a growth through challanges and discoreries, representing a very important link between the child and learning. The designer has an important role when designing a toy. He must be aware that the develops a helping tool in the formation of a creative and dynamic mentality and besides creating an article that shows pleasure, happiness and satisfaction. However, when the child cannot see the product, the way of understanding how to design a toy for this kind of user becomes complex. That is the thing this jobs is focused on, the aim to relate three points: the universal design, toys design, and sight deficiency in order to help show characteristics that are basic to elaborate of toys project to kids that cannot see. By doing this we hope that this research can be helpful as exemple to future toys projects / Mestre

Sofia Gubaidulina is considered one of the most important Russian composers of our time. A Moscow Conservatory student who studied with Dmitri Shostakovich’s pupil Nicolai Peiko, Gubaidulina went on to compose many pieces for orchestra, chorus, chamber instruments, and solo instruments. Her piano works include Toccata-Troncata (1971) and Invention (1974), as well as the more famous Chaconne (1962), Sonata (1965), and the concerto Introitus (1978). This essay will focus on a lesser-known piano work, Musical Toys (1969), consisting of fourteen pieces for children. Her intention in composing this collection of pieces was to present pictorial miniatures that she herself would have liked to play as a child. While these pieces create a unique sound quality with various imaginations that would be very appealing to children, my assessment of this work is that it would be quite difficult for children because of the pedal technique, frequent meter changes, accidentals, repeated notes, and irregular rhythmic subdivisions. My purpose is to examine how to help make this collection more accessible to young pianists. There are three chapters in this essay. Chapter I is an introduction to Gubaidulina and to Musical Toys. Chapter II consists of a brief biography of Gubaidulina. Finally, in Chapter III, I discuss the technical challenges, and propose a pedagogical approach to, as well as the performance practice of, Musical Toys.

This thesis presents the results of a survey conducted to determine the need and benefits of a toy loan center.

It is the aim of this investigation to compare the use of normally recommended toys, ordinarily used in the play-therapy setting, with more sophisticated, "grown-up" toys, when working with twelve-year-old children.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among the number of toys in an infant’s play environment, infant’s distractibility, and how often a mother teaches her infant during a play session. This study takes samples from videotapes of 12-month old children playing with their mothers during a 5 minute free-play situation. Twenty-two mother and infant pairs were selected for this study based on their previous participation in a language study. The measures used in this study were: (1) the number of maternal teaching utterances to her infant; (2) the total number of utterances that mother used during the play session with the child; (3) the number of toys that were visible in the room; (4) the factors that distracted the infant during the play session; and (5) the type of toy the infant choses to engage with.
