Museum of Education and Toys

Museum of Education and Toys, Toy museum at the Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo, Brazil

The Museum of Education and Toys is a collection in São Paulo that displays toys and learning materials from different periods. The space houses items made of wood, cloth, plastic, and paper that document different ways children played across generations.

The museum grew out of the Laboratory of Toys and Pedagogical Materials (Labrimp) at the Faculty of Education. On 28 February 1985 the congregation committed to creating a "Museum of the Child", and on 10 April 1988 the Museum of Toys and Pedagogical Materials opened. It received its current name on 20 August 1999, with funding from FAPESP. Educators Ruth Elisabeth de Martin and Tizuko Morchida Kishimoto led the effort.

The museum's name comes from its two founding strands: education and toys. Its collection grew from donations to the FEUSP's Laboratory of Toys and Pedagogical Materials, including handmade and old toys, educational games and photographs of São Paulo's first early childhood institutions. Educator Ruth Elisabeth de Martin and professor Tizuko Morchida Kishimoto led the effort, and in 2003 Jany Elizabeth Pereira organized the displays so each case told a theme.

Visits should be arranged in advance by email or phone, as they are limited to small groups of about 30 people. Each visit lasts around one and a half hours and is available Tuesday to Friday in morning and afternoon time slots.

The museum grew out of the Laboratory of Toys and Pedagogical Materials (Labrimp), which resolved on 28 February 1985 to create a "Museum of the Child". It opened to the public on 10 April 1988 as the Museum of Toys and Pedagogical Material, and only on 20 August 1999 took its current name, with FAPESP funding and its own room with display cases.
