General Info

I’m Christina Wallerstein, the founder of PlayopolisToys, and I’m delighted to welcome you to our website where you’ll find toys for the citizens of play – the young and the young at heart. Play is big in the lives of children. Polis reminds us of ancient city states governed by their citizens. Play allows children to govern themselves. They decide what to do with what is available to them. And play is essential to learning. While playing, children develop skills that enhance all aspects of their lives. Children learn differently. We offer toys that maximize sensory awareness, gross and fine motor, language, and cognitive development and provide distraction and multi-sensory stimulation. We sell toys that encourage children to play, learning what happens as a result of their actions and building skills. As the mother of a son with learning disabilities, I understand the challenges of finding safe, durable, developmentally appropriate toys that allow a child to experience the joy of open-ended, child-directed play.
