Where a toymaker can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a toymaker already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Toymakers create or reproduce hand-made objects for sale and exhibition made of various materials such as plastic, wood and textile. They develop, design and sketch the object, select the materials and cut, shape and process the materials as necessary and apply finishes. In addition, toymakers maintain and repair all types of toys, including mechanical ones. They identify defects in toys, replace damaged parts and restore their functionality.
