Be the Curator. This exciting session will enthuse both pupils and teachers alike. Pupils will take on the role of Museum Conservator to examine how toys are conserved for future generations and to investigate how toys have changed through time. Pupils will then use our Toy Gallery, set out in chronological order, to identify and place toys on a time line. Pupils will also discover toys and games within living memory that their parents and grandparents would have loved and played with.
