Toys
Spark curiosity about how children have played across generations. Our toy boxes are perfect for ‘old and new’ comparison activities and also discussing materials and their different qualities. The boxes include toys from the past 100 years – from Japanese dolls to football annuals. We also have separate WOW loans available, like an original ‘Sooty’ xylophone and dolls.
