An exhibition of toys designed and made by BA (Honours) Applied Arts students at Middlesex University, inspired by the Museum’s British Toy Making archive.
The designs, developed from a contemporary child’s perspective and rigorously tested by a young panel, demonstrate the ways in which toys can stimulate imaginative play. If you thought the Dragon’s Den was scary, try asking a critical 6 year old!
Pupils from Christchurch Primary School working with artists have also created their own imaginative designs.
