"toysinschool" - Pupils make their own wooden toy.
With almost 80 different toys in the collection, ranging from Ancient Egyptian 'grinder' to a 1940's 'ping pong shooter, we have worked at schools across the country with children from 4 to 17.

Each child learns
  • basic sanding techniques
  • design and colour
  • how to use a hand drill
  • basic skill with tools such as hammers and pliers
Toys and Forces.
No matter what age, we all get great enjoyment from making toys and models, especially when they work first time. Each toy requires basic forces in order to function and we spend time teaching the younger children which forces their toys use.
A range of toys based on those from Ancient Egypt
We work with children of all abilities and take great pride in ensuring that each pupil is responsible for every stage of production.
Where necessary we adapt our workbenches to ensure that children with disabilites get equal opportunity.
