Embark on a captivating journey through the ages with our ‘Toys Through Time’ workshop. This immersive experience catapults students from the earliest toys cherished by our prehistoric ancestors to the cutting-edge must-haves of today.

Chronicles of Play:
Discover the evolution of playthings over the last century, delving into the fascinating changes that have shaped the toys of different eras. Our workshop not only educates but invites students to travel back in time, exploring and interacting with an array of toys spanning the decades.

Hands-On Exploration:
Get ready for a hands-on adventure! Students have the unique opportunity to touch, feel, and play with toys from various periods, forging a direct connection with the past. It's not just a workshop; it's a chance for students to engage with history in a tactile and memorable way.

Comparing Then and Now:
Encourage lively discussions as children compare their own beloved toys with those from bygone eras. Through thoughtful conversations, they'll identify similarities, marvel at differences, and gain a deeper understanding of how playtime has evolved over time.

Chronology Unveiled:
Unleash the power of chronological thinking as students explore the timeline of toys and play. This workshop seamlessly aligns with the National Curriculum, offering a session filled with hands-on activities tailored to inspire curiosity and critical thinking.

Play, Learn, and Discover:
We believe in the magic of learning through play. In our workshop, playing with toys isn't just allowed – it's encouraged! Watch as your students not only absorb historical knowledge but actively engage in the joyous exploration of the world of play.
