Abstract
This work aims to establish a dialogue between Benjamin, Brougère and Vygotsky, with regard to their conceptions of the toy. We analyze the texts: “The toy, extreme object” and “The role of the toy on the cultural impregnation child” (Brougère); “The role of the toy in development” and “The development of symbolism in the toy” (Vygotsky); and, “Cultural story of the toy” and “Toys and games” (Benjamin). We have established a dialogue between these authors who concatenate to each other in the design of the toy is a cultural object, which allows the subject to the possibility of learning their culture from their contact with it. We identify the convergences and divergences between these authors, showing a plurality of meanings related to the concept of toy, without disregarding their theoretical constructs.
