In this interactive workshop pupils have the chance to play with toys popular in the past, developing a sense of chronology and looking at how toys have changed as technology has developed.
They think about and discuss the similarities and differences with the toys we have today, the materials they are made from, and who might have played with them, helping to develop a sense of context and social history around the history of toys.
This is an engaging, active session designed to help develop a deeper historical understanding whilst having lots of fun!
