Toy Creation - Term 3, Puke Ariki

Our next e-newsletter will be emailed to teachers and schools later this week, but we wanted to let you know about our exciting Term 3 programme Toy Creation.


We've had a great time in the office preparing this lesson - playing with toys has been a great excuse to be kids again!

Toy Creation will look at how toys have been traditionally made and how they work. What makes them move? What mechanics do they use? Students will get the chance to make a simple toy and consider technology concepts such as balance and energy. They'll also look at traditional toys on display in the museum, many of which you might recognise from your own childhood!


Anyone visiting the office can't resist playing with the woodpecker toy...

Toy Creation promises to be a fun, hands-on programme that everyone will enjoy (trust us, we've had fun making it!)
