| Great Toys
provide freedom to explore, to try new things, and to
develop skills. Toys that endure let children
apply their idea, experiences and skills as part of playing,
and provide a sense of wonder.
The test for a great toy is
this: Does a child prefer to play with it or the box it came
in? Does the toy spark creative and teamwork? Is
it a cause of wonder and extended excitement?
Kids invent toys empowers
kids to design, build and test their own toys and, by doing
so, learn about the world of science, inventing,
entrepreneurship, teamwork and problem solving. |

| Build a flying toy and test it out on
the rocket blaster and in the wind tunnel. |

| Toy Tech will be at the SD
Discovery Center through the end of August. Exhibit designer
Ed Sobey will be at the SD Discovery Center in July for
summer programs and educator workshops focused around Toy
Tech.
Join us to learn the science
and technology of play toys! |
