This study explores how a perception of children as imaginative and 'naturally' creative was constructed, disseminated, and consumed in the United States after World War II. It argues that educational toys, playgrounds, the smaller middle-class house, thousands of postwar schools, and children's museums, were designed to cultivate an ideal of imagination in a growing cohort of Baby Boom children.
