Abstract
This paper reports on two related but different developments in relation to designing for social interaction. It intends to compare and link together both a four years old international collaborative industrial design and manufacturing studio project between three universities and a users' observational research of pre-school children for five years in a community based toy library located in one of the most cosmopolitan suburbs in the state of New South Wales. It has surfaced there are similar cultural and social constraints influencing child development as well as the designing of products directed towards social interaction through physical play, movement and learning.
