One of the things that we love most about Prototype Thinking is that it requires no expensive tools or materials. Almost everything can be found at a drugstore or in a junk drawer at home.   

Depending on the exercise, we use different supplies in different colors. To start, you can begin with a simple supply kit using the following materials:

Digital Prototyping Supplies

  • Video conference (make sure you see the face of your user)

  • Google Slides (for building and iterating on mockups with a user on video)

  • Google Docs (for ranking risks and planning prototypes)

  • Mural (for synthesizing learnings)

In-Person Prototyping Supplies

  • 3x3 sticky notes

  • Small Sticky Notes - various sizes

  • Sharpies 

  • Colored Sharpies

  • Pens

  • Card Stock

  • Paper

  • Cardboard

  • Index Cards

  • Tape or Glue

  • Scissors

  • Plastic envelopes for storing prototypes
