Playing with Your Toys

People know how to play with toys. They don’t need to be told. So I won’t give you a lot of rules. Kids, they can make up their own. In fact, it’s probably better that they do. Toys teach kids about the world and how the things in it work. Games teach them how to get along with each other and cooperate. And the toys in this kit will have them (and you) learning all sorts of important things, without even realizing it. When you play, just be careful not to hurt each other with flying toys, don’t squabble and squash them, and put everything in a safe, dry place when you’re through for the day.

It’s not just children that will enjoy these karakuri toys. Teens, parents, college friends, grandparents: nobody can keep their hands off them. They look great on desks, on bookshelves, on mantlepieces and in cubicles. (I enjoy playing with them in the last few minutes before a big meeting.) This may be karakuri toys’ most amazing trick: they bring out the child in everyone. Have fun! Ready, set, go!
