KAPLA Blocks - Creating All the Time

Honolulu - Dr. Auerbach was featured as speaker on toys and play. She spoke and answered questions on play and toys at the Honolulu New Baby Expo 2006 held in Honolulu, Hawaii,  May 20 & 21, 2006. Dr. Auerbach, PhD (aka Dr. Toy) talked on the Main Stage at two presentations in the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall about "the importance of play and its role in child development".

She answered parent's questions at her booth where she displayed a great variety of quality Smart Play products. She talked to parents while their children played with Kapla Blocks, Folkmanis puppets, puzzles by b.dazzle, games by Briarpatch and University Games, toys by Megabloks and MGA Entertainment. Everyone who came to the booth and the presentations was given a Tangle Toy.
