I’m more often inspired by kids than by grown-ups. I love their ability to take multiple ideas and mash them together to make something new, before they develop that voice that says, “No, you can’t do that. That doesn’t make sense. That won’t work.” As adults I think we often put more energy into justifying why we’re not doing something than actually doing things. This is why I love the Toy Zoo. The Toy Zoo is a gallery of work created by kids in Happen Inc.’s Toy Lab. Happen Inc. takes discarded, donated toys and breaks them down into their component parts. Then kids remix the parts to create toys of their own. The results are quite remarkable!
There are thousands of creations in the gallery. Check it out!
