Term 3: Toy Creation

Our special topic for Term 3 has been the very enjoyable Toy Creation. We've had fantastic feedback from teachers about this programme, which asks students to consider the different energies, movements and technologies of simple toys.

Educator Keri Elvin and students create their own cotton-reel toy.

Teachers tell us that students were "very excited and involved, right from the start. Lots of talk generated" and had a "look of wonder on their faces. Enthusiasm - wonder - had them thinking".

We still  have some Toy Creation spaces left in Weeks 10 and 11 - contact us now to book your class.

What makes these toys move? How can we make them move faster? And...which one will win?!
