The Value of Toys


Toys are machines around which play is created.

Toys have influenced many important designers and artists

Toys matter to all of us and to the world as a whole

 

Creating and bringing toys to market is like delivering nutritious food to the brains of children everywhere to help them grow and develop to their greatest potentials. This matters, because the brains we are feeding will one day feed the world.


 

In Inventing Kindergarten, by Norman Brosterman, you find some great examples of the influence of ‘toys’.  Many of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, designers, architects, and visionaries, Mondrian and Frank Lloyd Wright are two examples, were influenced by play with these toys created by the inventor of the first Kindergarten in Europe.
