Childhood and Play

Before starting: Keep yourself on track by using the Assignment Calculator at U of Minnesota Libraries.

Try MCC Library's iBistro catalog to find books, DVDs, ebooks, etc.
Be sure to take a look at "Childhood in America"

Take a look at the New York Times (Historical Newspapers) - Search under hula hoops; yo-yos; board games; street games....

Check the History Reference Center

and Lexis-Nexis.

Still can't find what you need? Search Worldcat - you can request items we don't have by using Interlibrary Loan. There is no charge.

Look over:

Children in Urban America-Play and Leisure (from Marquette University)

Museum of Childhood (based in Great Britain) for some info on games and toys.

History of Toys

The National Toy Hall of Fame
