Social Individualism

Diversified activity stations foster bonds without sacrificing individuality

Implications - While communal activities help foster socialization skills among children, group experiences can often overshadow one’s individuality. Seeking to influence peer-to-peer interaction without sacrificing personal interests, parents are turning to multifunctional activity stations to offer individualized activities in a more expansive, group setting. This speaks to a desire for fostering relationships in a more subtle, and unobtrusive manner.
Trend Themes
1. Individualized Group Activities - Parents are seeking multifunctional activity stations to offer individualized activities in a more expansive, group setting to foster peer-to-peer interaction without sacrificing personal interests.
2. Big-scale Toys and Furniture - Big-scale toys and furniture are becoming popular due to their ability to be shared among children and used for a longer period of time, making it possible for children to play together for extended periods of time.
3. Lego-inspired Design - Inspiration from LEGO is becoming more popular, with designers borrowing some of LEGO's key principles to design furniture and toys that can be constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed by children, expanding the lifespan of toys and reducing waste.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Toy and Furniture Industry - The children's toy and furniture industry is being disrupted as parents seek alternatives to traditional, single-purpose toys and furniture that may be limited in terms of functionality and lifespan, making space for more sustainable, versatile, and long-lasting options.
2. Group Activities Industry - Group activities industry participants are facing challenges as parents seek activities that foster peer-to-peer interaction without sacrificing personal interests, creating opportunities for multifunctional activity stations for group activities.
3. Interior Design Industry - The interior design industry has seen an increased interest in big-scale toys and furniture as people look to create more child-friendly spaces that can accommodate multiple children, creating opportunities for designers to create versatile and functional furniture that fits the needs of parents and their kids.
