Wayne, PA (PRWEB) November 6, 2003 - Calling all fans of Legos and Tinker Toys, on November 15th and 16th from 10 am to 3 pm, Please Touch Museum, one of the nations very best hands-on childrens museums, will host its first official Toobeez Play Day. Toobeez, marketed as The Ultimate Giant Construction Building Toy, consists of numerous colorful tubes and spheres that give little hands and big imaginations the opportunity to create fun, life-size structures and learn in the process.
Throughout the Play Day weekend, children and adults will be connecting, twisting, and creating with hundreds of Toobeez tubes and spheres to build many different types of structures in the atrium of Please Touch Museum, located in historic Philadelphia at 210 North 21st Street. Each day the museum will be giving away one set free to a participant of the event. Admission to the museum is required.
What we really like about the toy is that it really encourages adults and children to play together. When parents and children are playing and working together, they are going to learn together. Thats our goal – to have fun and to learn," said Jennifer Bush, Gallery Program Manager at Please Touch Museum.
Many educators have applauded Toobeez for its remarkable educational value. Through the manipulation of the pieces, Toobeez is a core developmental tool for cognitive reasoning, motor skill, spatial orientation, and individual and group problem solving.

You can build many different types of structures, such as forts, castles, playhouses, mazes, obstacle courses, dollhouses, puppet theatres, soccer goals, airplanes, spaceships, or animals. The possibilities are really almost endless."
