Our work obsessed society is rarely focused on the value of play. According to the Institute for Play, mass murderers, abused children, burnt-out employees, depressed mothers, caged animals, and chronically worried students never had play as a part of their lives. Whereas the common denominator for Nobel Laureates, innovative entrepreneurs, artists and performers, well-adjusted children, happy couples and families is a vigorous level of play throughout their lives.

Setting aside time for play, whatever your version of play is, will open your creative thought process, free your mind from the cares of work, and invigorate your intellectual sphere. Below are some of our favorite play things. Send us yours!
