“A great resource to borrow. A group of older members of the community came to talk to the children about what toys they used to play with & were fascinated by the contents”. Vincent St Edward School

The children really enjoyed looking at and experiencing the toys. They were able to compare with modern toys”  St Pauls RCVA Primary

These boxes (there are two  3 A and B because of the high demand) encompass children’s toys in the whole period from Egyptian times to the present day, with an emphasis on participation and enjoyment.
