Città del sole is a game and toy store unlike any other. It is different in what is there, but also in what is not there. And for the atmosphere you breathe. There are games that we thought extinct, such as the wooden rocking horse and evergreen classics such as wooden puzzles alongside very modern and rational construction systems or kits for physics experiments ... In all cases, the games of City of the sole, proposed for age groups, are designed as "tools to grow", to stimulate children's creativity through experience, imagination, curiosity and discovery. These games establish a deep and lasting relationship with the child because they respond from time to time to his needs, exploiting the skills and interests that mature in the different stages of his growth. Quite the opposite of what many "fashion" toys do, destined to be ephemeral and continually to be replaced. These are precisely the games that cannot be found in the City of the Sun, because the store's proposal is modeled on an educational project that recognizes play as an important and constructive moment in the formation and development of personality. The educational value of the game is also underlined by the display in the shop and the setting of the catalog. All the games are presented by type and age group: a precious help for the child's development, but also for parents who are often undecided on what to choose. The first city of the sun was born in Milan in 1972. At the beginning what most characterized Città del sole was the prevalence of wooden toys, which are on the verge of extinction in traditional shops. Because in the early 1970s, solid, reliable toys created with the child in mind were mostly found at small manufacturers who worked with traditional methods and produced small runs of wooden toys. Today wood is still widely present, but it no longer has the same almost exclusive position: there are very solid plastic toys, many cardboard board games, materials and colored papers for painting, modeling, folding. The speech has become more and more articulated, because luckily the toy industry has evolved and large manufacturers have begun to mass-produce high-quality plastic toys. The large assortment of Città del Sole is a selection of the best of the best toy manufacturers in the world: British, German, Scandinavian, French and American. And alongside well-known brands such as Galt, Little Tikes and Brio, we find unknown names of small and passionate producers that only a patient and skilful research has been able to find. The "creative game" is the leitmotif of the entire offer of Città del Sole, that is to say, pure play, the one that amuses and at the same time brings new experiences, ideas and emotions. For this reason Città del sole continues to be chosen by nursery schools and nursery schools and by parents attentive to the development of their children.
