The document discusses concepts for a new 3g glue stick variant targeted towards kids for craft projects. It outlines ideas for making the glue stick intuitive and fun for kids to use through a natural rotating motion, rather than the pinching motion required for traditional glue sticks. The proposed design includes a central yellow knob that would rotate to push glue out when used in a semi-circular motion more natural for kids. The glue stick would have few simple parts that assemble vertically for easy manufacturing.

9. Key Ideas: How are they using their craft products? The Kid has to adapt to the product The Fun is Lost Entire attention is diverted towards how to use the glue stick, rather than the craft Plan Un-comfortable and non-intuitive way of using the product Open, align, apply & paste
12. Natural Action The Fun way Semi circular motion to paint, apply, scribble, etc. Usage of entire palm to grip rather than the pinch grip (typically used for holding a pen)
17. Mechanism As the center rotor (shown in yellow) turns anticlockwise with respect to the outer case (shown in blue), the glue is radially pushed out wards The outer case and the rotor are concentric The relative movement between them will move the glue Details Cap Glue
19. The product comprises of four components : two halves of the outer case, the cap and the center rotor integrated with the piston All the components can be vertically assembled with the cap coming from the side Details
