Summary
| Description |
English: Creative toys are rare in many developing countries. These children enjoy their first opportunity to play with Tinkertoys, which a visitor to Laos brought from abroad and donated to Big Brother Mouse, a literacy project in Laos.
Because it's their first exposure to Tinkertoys, children tend to note what others are making, and then build something on a similar theme. At this event, spoked gadgets predominated. On another occasion, one boy linked together many wheels, to make a caterpillar-type creature that he pulled on the floor; soon other pull toys were created. |

The Tinkertoys were one of many activities at a "Discovery Day" organized by Big Brother Mouse, a literacy project in Laos. Legos and Lincoln Logs, all purchased and brought to Laos by supporters, were available. The day also included read-aloud sessions, simple science experiments, math puzzles, fossils to examine, and educational games.
