Relive your childhood with the 2010 Toy & Craft Special Exhibition
Are kids these days really that fortunate? With toys being replaced so quickly, they’re glued to video games and computers all day, gradually losing the true meaning of “toys.” Classic childhood playthings like marbles, spinning tops, bamboo toys, woven straw toys, and puppet show figurines seem to have disappeared. Yet handcrafted toys hold special significance for Taiwanese people. The “2010 Toy & Craft Special Exhibition” aims to help the public revisit their childhood and rediscover toys from different eras.
The “Playful Light Years – 2010 Toy & Craft Special Exhibition,” held at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, runs until November 21. The exhibition is divided into three zones: Play with Nature, Play with Color, and Play with Imagination. It also explores the themes of “Play” (interaction with objects), “Explore” (interaction with environment), and “Game” (interaction with people), allowing families to experience the unique features of various toys together.
“Play with Nature” primarily features natural materials, showcasing selections from “Traditional Chinese Toys,” “Rural Childhood Toys,” “Educational Toys,” and “Indigenous Toys.” Early games such as pitch-pot and cuju, as well as puzzles like the nine linked rings, diabolos, bamboo and straw toys, and indigenous nose flutes and blowguns are displayed. There are also hanging shuttlecocks, puppet shows, and large-scale Lu Ban locks to help visitors understand how their ancestors played. “Play with Color” represents the arrival of the industrial era, featuring toys made from materials like celluloid, tinplate, alloys, and plastics—ranging from vehicles and dolls to cartoon characters, robots, and various weapons.
“Play with Imagination” takes us into the high-tech age, where vast information is just a finger tap away. This is an era of mental engagement, where games and toys can be self-defined and created. Starting with the theme “Imagine the Future,” it showcases designer figures and eco-friendly recycled toys, highlighting modern trends and technology. Visitors can explore the “2010 Toy & Craft Special Exhibition” to play with toys from ancient times to the present day.
