What are the main steps to creating a Janod toy?
We will demonstrate using an example: the Zigolo range penguin.
The product must first meet a market need, but the creative aspects very quickly come to the fore in order to make this new item a lovely, on-trend toy well-suited to the age of the child at which it is aimed.
For this particular toy, inspiration came late at night while watching a documentary about penguins and their chicks. The shape of these irresistibly cute balls of fluff clearly resembled a stacker and rocker toy.
The rough drafts of the bird quickly take shape on the corner of a desk with paper and felt-tip, and we are already thinking about the materials that will make a wooden toy into a lovely cute companion. In this case, beech, thin felt and water-based paint seem to be natural choices.
The colors are also chosen. They are not only “on-trend” but also have a certain realism...a very deliberate and contemporary black for the head, rather daring for a toy, natural wood, a slightly metallic grey and a pretty pastel blue for the base.
Once the rough drafts are approved, the computer comes into play. A graphic tablet and stylus are used and the toy takes almost definitive shape with the help of 2D and 3D software.
We then edit the technical files that are crucial to creating the models and prototypes, reworking the dimensions, colors and materials to be used for starting production.
Our development team monitors this very important phase, ensuring that the specifications are followed as the first models are made.
Once the prototype is approved, we begin manufacturing. The penguin becomes a little cutie ready to take its place under the lights in our photo studio. The following stage is the creation of the packaging. Careful attention is taken over this stage: the packaging created by our graphic designers must be appealing and ensure that the toy is protected.
The stacker and rocker toy is finally presented at trade fairs to our clients, specialist toy shops who then choose to welcome it onto their shelves ready to meet the mums, dads and little ones who will adopt it!

Packaging is important and is also part of the product concept, as for example with the Magneti’book. This includes quality, useful, practical and reusable packaging such as the round puzzle boxes, the cardboard boxes with handles used for certain games such as the little chick game, and the metal sardine tins of the fishing game, etc.
