This lesson to investigate different toys in this lesson by looking at their materials and the use of technology in past toys.

How I use this resource: This resource is a powerpoint which is shared at the front of the class with the children. This lesson works best if you ask children to bring in toys or provide toys as a school, this would allow a more hands on feel to the lesson. The task is to be completed in small groups so children can complete their sentences with an adult.
