People of all ages can have the opportunity to take turns playing with toys and games from generations past at the Museum on Main’s Family Day this weekend in downtown Pleasanton.
“Possibly the most fun” theme of the museum’s midyear monthly series, according to education director Sarah Schaefer, the “Old Time Toys and Games Family Day” centers on free activities and crafts on the museum’s front lawn to encourage “intergenerational learning, play creativity, and memory building.”
“There are toys and games from people’s great-grandparents era all the way down to the 1980s and 1990s,” Schaefer said. “It is always fun to see children enjoying the program, but what I love most about this family day is watching the adults of all ages playing too, reveling in the nostalgia that toys and games evoke.”
Activity stations will include older wooden toys, optical illusion toys, retro toys, puzzle craft, tabletop games, traditional Ohlone games and outdoor games, according to Schaefer.
The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday (Aug. 6) at the downtown museum located at 603 Main St.
