The highlight of our six-week project on toys was a trip to Tobi Lane Designs. The shop is unusual because attached to it is a workshop, where craftsmen make wooden toys using traditional tools and methods.
We started the project by talking to the 16 children, aged three to four years, about different toys, the materials used to make them and how children's toys had changed over the years.
Next we visited our local Early Learning Centre to do some research before setting up our very own toy shop in the nursery. While at the centre, we took some photos and made a video.
