Project Description

Toughtootsies was created with a vision to give children who are suffering from cancer a voice. Hospitals can be scary places, but Toughtootsies gives children something fun to do, while being creative. Every child loves to draw, and now their creations can replace the standard pair of hospital socks with something fun and personal. Kids, along with their siblings, can upload their art work to Toughtootsies and soon thereafter brightly colored and designed socks will arrive during their stay. Each pair of Toughtootsies is as unique as the child who created them.

Research Question

What type of product can be created to help young children show their support as well as balance emotions towards a sibling who was diagnosed with cancer?
