Investigate fascinating objects from the Stone Age, Iron Age, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Anglo-Saxon or Viking civilisations in this archaeological dig activity using detective skills and team work to collect the ‘finds’.

Toys Through Time

Children discover and handle traditional toys from the past to toys from the present day.

Studying materials, condition and design they sort and compare the toys to make connections.

They play traditional games, before creating a handmade toy of their own and listening to a story.
