PROMISE OF PLAY, Part 1: The Mother of Invention

What do all of us mammals have uncommon? The ability to play. Play has a powerful impact on learning and development. And it's not just for kids. Discover what Jane Goodall and other researchers have learned about the importance of play throughout our lives.

In Part One, we see play in action at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, at the Exploratorium Science Museum in San Francisco, in families, schools and in the workplace during a zany creative session at IDEO, an award-winning design company. The ability to master and enjoy a changing world may depend on how well we play.
