For this project I wanted to make my mouse child friendly. Kids these days can pick up on technology faster than most generation, I chose Mickey Mouse because almost all kids I know love Mickey and Minnie. 
I used the cylinder and Boolean Difference tools to create the mouse ears. I added game controllers to the ears because most of the time when kids are using the computer its for games, this gives them an additional controller to play rather than just a mouse.  For the eyes I projected an oval onto the mouse itself, used the pipe tool to create an indent and then added an extruded curve. The left and right eyes are the left and right click buttons. For the nose I took a solid oval object and the Boolean Difference tool to place it in the mouse. In the middle of the mouses' nose I added a scroll key. I used the solid cylinder object for the general shape, then used the array polar tool with 11 extruded rectangles to create the notches in the scroll. I added the smile for detail by using a polyline curve and the pipe tool
For the materials in this Mickey Mouse, I used a variety of clear and cloudy plastics in black, white and shades of black. I chose plastic because it gets dirty less (from kids fingerprints) and most kids toys are in a plastic material due to the fact that they are inexpensive to replace if broken and are fun for kids to play with.
