You are invited to discover the magic of the toy museum in our popular KS1 Toys from the Past workshop! Welcomed by the eccentric curator of the Magical Toy Museum as top toy experts, you will travel from room to room, discovering the types of toys children used to play with.
Along the way you will stumble upon a bear hug-a-thon. Then dance at the Dolly Disco! And finally, help with a detective investigation!
Pop, spin, or put your batteries in!
Join us in this interactive KS1 Toys from the Past workshop and use drama, imagination, and a little bit of magic, to bring toys to life!
Why choose a Freshwater workshop?
Our sessions:
- Are highly interactive, offering hands-on learning, which allows all your pupils to access the topic.
- Add depth and richness to the curriculum and stimulate further learning.
- Use carefully chosen drama techniques, so that children feel a personal involvement in the topic which helps to embed subject knowledge.
- Allow the teacher an opportunity to observe pupils’ progress from a different perspective.
- Are led by experienced drama facilitators who immerse the children in an imaginative world, helping to make learning fun!

The children loved the workshop and were engaged the entire time. It was lovely to pretend to be different dolls and hear the children laugh so hard! The children learned a lot and were able to write a recount describing the different types of toys they saw and what they were made of. I would highly recommend it to other schools.
