McDonalds' toys mainly feature toys based on television shows, movies, or video games, but they also have a few original toys. They've had toys for both girls and boys of different ages.
For McDonalds, toy safety is at the top of their list when considering toys to go in their happy meals. At the top of the possible hazard list would be the choking hazard. Besides that, all other hazards are also inspected very closely.

I think that the project came together really well. The only change that I would make would be to make the toy more interactive. Alison and I worked really well together although I didn't check my email as much as I should have. We split up the work and did our parts. While we were working on certain areas we asked each other for recommendations on how the parts should be made. I had to make the rocket for the minion to go in. The rocket wasn't really that hard to make because of the skills that I've learned in this class. I don't know how hard the minion was to make although it looks difficult to me.
