ASSIGNMENT
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

WHAT I THOUGHT
It's very difficult for me think about a "plan for dissemination", the reason is simple: there are so many aspects that don't make the toy qualified to be used by kids. So first of all I would try to create the possibility for myself to work ahead with the project. To do that I'd search support through crowdfunding, I'd search someone interested in my idea and who could invests on it. I think that for this porpouse equity crowdfunding sistem of Symbid is the good choise.

"Symbid is about investing safely in new, promising, fast-growing businesses. Before a company is traded on the stock market, anyone can acquire an equity interest and profit by having the foresight to anticipate the company's growth.
[...]
How does it work? For each business that acquires new investors via Symbid, Symbid sets up an investors' cooperative.
[...]
The investors all become members in this investors' cooperative and it is the cooperative which is ultimately the shareholder in the business. Complicated? Not at all. Is there any increased risk due to the indirect ownership and control? Absolutely not. Of course, the universal entrepreneurial risk still remains, as in all equity investment: if a business cannot fulfill its obligations, it goes bankrupt and the investors lose their invested money."

It would permit the financial conditions not to sell the product but to have develop it and reach the goal to have a product that can be qualified and read to turn in a business. In the meanwhile I would also look for someone with commercial and marketing expirience that could manage that part of big project.
