Toy-Making In School & Home (2)

Life lessons from toy making
Honestly it seems amazing…

As soon as I started reading this book I was captivated by this more than a century ago work and the power and resources it put into the hands of these young girls to become makers but also in seeing this extended view of how such activities might play a wider role in the adults to come.

So where do we start? The Polkinghornes proffer a structured course and to begin at the beginning for a younger child a square piece of paper is all that’s needed and then the possibilities are endless.

We’re only on page 35 and we’re already on sedan chair…
‘A dining suite may be made in this way.’
