Collections

Please Touch Museum actively collects and uses objects that reflect and reveal the history of childlife. The collection objects become learning tools to engage children’s minds and imagination as they observe objects in exhibits. Such careful observation acts as a springboard for new thoughts and ideas, and stimulates the use of critical thinking.

The primary collection of Please Touch Museum is toys—toys guide play, engender creativity and cultivate the imagination. Toys offer children ways to develop their brain power in strategic and critical thinking…and toys help children in all the stages of play: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. Plus, they’re fun!
