Some Other Playgrounds

"playfulness is ... not only to be enjoyed but to be accorded high value for its fundamental role in the success of all organisms, including humans." -- from Variability in Brain Function and Behavior
Serendip and its Playground are not the only places that take play seriously or provide things to play with. Provided below is an evolving list of materials that have a productively playful air about them. Updated summer 2005 by Kate Shiner, as part of the activities of the Serendip/SciSoc 2005 working group. Suggested additions to this list are welcome.
