YouTube Description

Play is considered a universal language, and is now the subject of a groundbreaking study by Mattel, the toy company responsible for classic toys like Barbie and Hot Wheels. The study, called "The Shape of Play," looks at who's playing what and why. Michelle Miller reports on why no one is ever too old for fun.
