Toys

Minds-on
Why do we have toys? How have toys changed over time? Students will learn how a range of toys work and how they have changed over time.
Hands-on
The highly interactive workshop will give students opportunities to discover toys from the past and the present. Students will be inspired to design and make a toy with limited materials/resources back at school after their exciting visit to MOTAT!
Plus
The Adult-led Group Trail offers opportunities to explore MOTAT and discover how children played in the past and observe a range of toys in the collection.
