KS1 Victorian toys & games

This workshop was created to support learning about toys & games for KS1 students. The display is very hands on and every child has the opportunity to play with all the toys. It looks at what toys were made from, toys of the rich & the poor and how toys were different from toys today. We have a great range of optical toys, automatons, active and kinetic toys. We will be dressed as Victorians.
