In Class Prototype:
My prototype for the class was a piece of toast, so I placed it in the pan for the photo. I didn’t fill it with cotton, which kept it soft. I like it, it feels a bit like jellycat.
For Ideations:
My idea was to make a fried egg where the yolk can be separated from the egg white, and the light will be placed in the yolk. I love fried egg, and I thought it was an interesting idea to put food plush toys on the bed. I thought it would be a great experience to let my favorite food on the side of me to sleep in bed. The challenging part was that I didn’t know how to make a hollow plush toy, which was the part I needed to figure out.
Materials:
Use yellow cloth for the yolk part and white cloth for the egg white part. Put the yellow light bulb into the egg yolk.
Nice work, Qi! For your egg, I recommend looking at previous students’ work who have chosen the same subject: https://makingstudio.blog/2016/10/13/kuan%ef%bc%9alate-night-snack-part-2/

If you want to stick with the idea of making the yolk and white two different pieces, i have to ask why? how does it relates to the story? if you keep this feature, keep in mind your whole circuit must then fit in the yolk, including the battery pack, so the whole thing would need to be oversized.
Hi Qi! I love your blog post!! Thought it was so fun how you photographed your prototype in a frying pan, so cute. I think this is a great way to promote your product in an unconventional way. I would love to hear your plan for attaching the yolk to the egg white as I will need to do something similar with my plush night light. I am looking forward to seeing this all come together 🙂
Toast and eggs is a necessary combo which brings up my appetite and I am very much looking forward to your night light. The LED light in the egg yolk is a wise option, all your choices have been perfect, but I was wondering what material you are going to use for this egg yolk, if you use a very translucent material, it will take away the ambience of your egg. I think the hazy light is perfect for your egg yolk! Looking forward to your final product!!!

Hi Qi! Your egg yolk toy is so cute! And also similar to Lauren’s project, I wonder if you plan to make the yolk “wiggleable” inside the yolk (maybe with a spring or thin white threads to loosely attach the yolk to the egg white part). That will be really cool!
