This episode is part 2 of the mini-series aimed at guiding inventors on how to nurture their creativity and develop their ideas while stuck at home. In this episode learn how to make a game of brainstorming and developing your idea with friends and family. You'll also learn how to playtest and vet your toy concepts from home. Learn the best ways to use video chats, online surveys, and snail-mail to keep your concept development moving while the rest of the world is on pause.

Azhelle introduces you to Mad Lib Brainstorming, a process she developed to inject a little bit of fun and joy when you're at an inventors' stalemate. Follow along as she uses the classic game Connect 4, as an example to show you how to implement this process for your self. The Toy Coach also gives a quick overview of what it means to playtest and vet your toy idea or prototype and then goes into detail giving you action-by-action advice on how you can perform that research from the safety of your own home.
