Things For Play

It’s not for kids only!

Play isn’t just for kids. It’s an end in itself. How we play and the things we play with reflect who we are, how we learn, how we relate to each other, and what we value. Play facilitates learning, creativity, and discovery. And our playthings and our pastimes reflect and illuminate our American culture.

Thousands of objects from Strong’s world-renowned collection of play-related artifacts are on view in this area dedicated to playthings and pastimes.
