Task No. 1
What toy is this?
Look closely at the picture below. This is a printed catalogue from a shop in 1945, showing lots of different toys for sale!
Circle the toys that you recognise. Talk about the toys that you have not seen before - how do you think children could have played with them?
What material are these toys made from? (Hint: Can you see any plastic or computer parts? Why do you think this is?)
Choose which toy you would like to play with and explain why it is your favourite.
