With toys as our focus, we hope to educate as many children as possible to various cultures, traditions, and lifestyles as seen through the eyes of their contemporaries.

WorldPlay is a nonprofit corporation supported by a coalition of organizations whose main goal is to celebrate the creativity of children through the toys they invent.

It is our aim to promote a better understanding among children of the diverse cultures throughout the world, using creativity and play. WorldPlay presents an outstanding collection of toys created and designed by children throughout the world.


By spreading the knowledge of these various toys, our goal is to promote an understanding of different cultures from around the world through the toys that children make and play. No matter the economic status, education, or physical abilities, a child's creativity is universal. We fervently hope that through play, children will gain respect for each other.
