Brinquedoteca: um convite ao lúdico

Abstract

The present work presents a brief summary of the historical context of the toy library and the path that it took until arriving in Brazil. The toy library is born with the sole purpose of stopping thefts in a toy store and today it is much more than a simple place of play and loan of toys. As you explore the history of the toy library, it has also been a place to explore their play universe. Through play, children have the opportunity to learn by playing and with these jokes, they absorb much more than in activities developed exclusively in the classroom. Thinking about these issues and being aware of the role of design in finding innovative solutions that meet individual and collective needs, the project aims to contribute to the construction of a lively toy library, which helps children's identity and autonomy to be built, in order to contribute for the creation of a generation of conscious and prepared individuals for life. The objective of this work is to deepen the discussion about the importance of toy libraries in the development of our children and the rescue of the social coexistence between them. The act of playing helps to develop and generate skills such as communication and interaction with peers and to get to know each other better, for through play the child learns to master his fears and to interpret and represent the outside world. Through research and case studies, we can observe that toy libraries are important instruments for art, culture and leisure. An institution that is under-exploited but which greatly contributes to the development of our children and promotes social inclusion. That Toys are a right for all children and that all have access to Toys in public spaces, such as municipal libraries, schools and etc., and not only some privileged ones that can pay packages of hours to have access to private Toys or even have availability to go to bars and restaurants that also offer this entertainment space. The studies were initially based on bibliographical research and later, in case studies, in which the majority had technical visits and interviews with local officials, employees and collaborators, and in some cases, only electronic searches. Everyone took care of the photographic documentary and the historical context and the purposes of the sites. Much of the work was based on the interviews of the technical visits, when I was able to exchange experiences and to aggregate information about the learning through the Playful and the true mission of the toy libraries.
