What to do

1. To download the Toy Theatre click on either of the download links. Your computer will then ask whether you want to save the file (if it doesn’t, click on the ‘download’ link with your right mouse button and choose the ‘Save target as…’ or ‘Save link as…’ option).

2. Once you press ‘save’ your computer will ask you where to download the file to. Select a location that you will remember, perhaps the desktop or your ‘documents’ folder.

3. After the download has finished, which may take several minutes if you are using a modem, you will need to 'unzip' the file (because the file has been compressed, or ‘zipped’ to make the download faster). New versions of Windows will do this automatically for you. If it does not, then you will need to download a program to unzip the file, such as WinZip, which is free and available at www.winzip.com

4. Once the files are unzipped you can view the instructions (by opening the document 'Instructions.pdf') and begin to create your own toy theatre. If you do not have PDF viewer software installed on your computer you can download a free version from www.adobe.com
