Yea…think I’m going with the hand/paw idea because it’s also easier for me to prototype (no small details like the teeth or anything), and it’ll go along with the footprint theme that I have on the bootie. I’ve weighed the pros and cons between velcro vs. magnets, and I’m going with the magnets. I’ve done some quick testing and found some magnets that’ll work great. Also, from the research and talking I’ve done with the parents, the magnets will allow them to place the shoes on surfaces like the fridge, dry-erase boards, etc…so that they aren’t going crazy looking for them.
A final model isn’t required, but i’m definitely doing a more refined prototype with more detail and stuff.
