Loans Box : Childhood Memories

KS 2

Subjects: History, Science, Literacy

Used in a project with Warkworth Primary School 7-8 year olds. Favourite items for children were potty and child’s bloomers!”  Grange Care Home

Our childhood memories box serves both an educational role in social history, but also as an excellent stimulus for discussion in care homes and clubs for the elderly. A survey conducted by Bailiffgate Museum found very high levels of recall of childhood toys in the sector.
