The McGruff Safe Kids Identification Kit is more than three decades old. It has become a classic in the realm of child safety/educational products, thanks to the power of McGruff the Crime Dog. The kit’s success hinges on its soft creative approach to a frightening parental concern. In addition to the fingerprint ink, the kit contains safety rules for parents and children and a section on DNA collection. Instructive material is presented within a non-threatening, game-like framework. The most important objective attained by McGruff Safe Kids ID kit is to prepare children to play and live safely.
Design Methodology

- DNA Create a piece that is interesting and intriguing enough so that the child would “play” with the kit during his/her playtime and further reinforce the educational message their parents have begun.
- Provide a section for interactivity between the child and the educational piece.
- Encourage parents to read to and be positively involved with their children.
- Encourage a strong, positive experience between law enforcement personnel and other responsible adults and children.
