Contents of the Toys and Games of the Past box includes:
the oldest toys in the world (used along with notes in the Teacher’s Pack, your group is challenged to think about how it is possible to play with sticks and stones in multiple ways).

traditional games such as Snakes and Ladders, Ludo and Dominos that encourage playing together.
toys that encourage development of fine motor skills such as Jacob’s ladder and pick up sticks.
toys that encourage development of gross motor skills such as yoyos, skipping ropes and skittles.
puppets and a toy tea set to encourage imaginative play.
