About Twenty One Toys
Twenty One Toys is the result of an upheaval. You could say that this revolution has been going on since the 1800s or that it is still in its infancy. On both counts, you would be correct. The revolution for which Twenty One Toys work every day is the revolution in education. Their revolution requires responses: Where are their classrooms, boardrooms, and public spaces for play, creativity, cooperation, and empathy? More importantly, how should these essential skills be taught? Playing is how you made your first friends, dealt with your first problems, and picked up lessons from your first mistakes. It showed you how important rules are and how bad injustice can be. It encouraged you to imagine yourself in other people's shoes and to ask the question what if. They are all aware that play played a role in their early growth and learning. However, as soon as they started school, play became the exact opposite of learning.
