An exhibition of toys designed and made by BA (Honours) Applied Arts students at Middlesex University, inspired by the museum’s collection. 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.
