Instead of calling them "toys" they called them "hobbies", and instead of "playing with them", like you would do with a train or a sand pit, they would "work on them" so they would appear to be working by all the other grownup people!
There are a few jobs out there where you can be lucky enough to get paid to play. "What?! What are these jobs?" Simple - it's jobs like being on Mister Wizard, or Jack*** (***=word that is inappropriate in some circles and means 'buttocks' or 'donkey'. So the show could be interpreted either Jackbuttocks or Jackdonkey). "Well, how can I get these jobs? Those sound like fun!" Simple - you have to be either:
1) a complete nerd who's really good at science and has spent their whole life studying science type subjects or
2) A person who has absolutely no nerves left in their body and so they are willing to do crazy stunts like falling off of buildings or getting punched in the face repeatedly by a professional boxer who has twice as much body mass as you do.
