A short history of ICCP |

During the first conference which was organised by "Spiel Gut" in Ulm, Germany, the International Council for Children's Play (ICCP) was founded. The German name is "Internationale Rat für das Kinderspiel"; the French name: "Conseil Internal pour le Jeu de L'Enfant". The German national organisation "Spiel Gut" had existed already since 1954 and was engaged in the judgement of the quality of toys. Good toys received the orange sticker "Spiel Gut". Some scientists, like Professor Hetzer from Germany, Professor Bayr-Klimpfinger from Austria and Professor Bladergroen, together with practitioners like Mr and Mrs Abbatt (founders from Children's Play Activities in England) and Dr Roderich Thun (one of the founders of "Spiel Gut" ) were engaged in the founding of the ICCP. Mrs Lieselotte Pée from "Spiel Gut" became the first secretary of the ICCP. On the 28 August 1964, when Gustav Mugglin from "Pro Juventute" in Zurich, Switzerland, was the president, the ICCP was registered as a voluntary association in Bern.
