Organized by the Papalote Children's Museum in Mexico City, and the Mexican Cultural Institute, the exhibition is divided into two basic themes. First, there are toys that are an important part of celebrations such as Christmas, the Day of the Dead, Holy Week, and Carnival. Of course, there are also those that are simply used by children for play.

The exhibition also includes several play stations for children to interact and play with replicas of the toys in the exhibit.

Visitors will experience the world of Mexican toys as one of ingenuity and color. The country's tradition of popular art and its diversity of forms, textures, materials, and techniques is reflected in its objects of play.
