How did children enjoy themselves before TV, stereos, computers and video games? What passed for entertainment before YouTube? Did people even manage to have fun? The answer is a resounding "YES!"
Find out exactly how by inviting That History Bloke to share his toys with you. His collection starts with 2000 year old toys, used by Romans, and goes right through to the 1940s. Such classics as cup and ball, whipping tops and quoits are joined by less well known - but immediately popular - toys such as zoetropes, boolers, praxinoscopes, and thaumatropes...
Sessions always include a playtime, where
children can get hands-on with these amazing inventions - and there
are plenty to go around!
This HUGELY popular and interactive session is
one of That History Bloke's favourites to deliver.
