Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Drawing on Gardner’s (2004) Theory of Multiple Intelligences (or MI Theory) and Thomas Armstrong’s (2009) practical translation of MI Theory for educators and children, the BU Toy Library provides access to literacy and play resources that honor the different ways that people learn and use their knowledge. Click on each of the images below to check out our collection of MI-inspired books, toys, equipment, supplies, and reference materials. It is our sincere hope that these resources will help people of all developmental ages and abilities explore their own strengths and appreciate the many ways that others show their smarts.
