Toys And Homes
Suitable for KS1
Choose between toys or homes or a mixture of both for this session.
The amazing Hollytrees dolls house gives children a birds-eye view of life in the past. It allows them to compare their lives with the Round family and their servants who lived in Hollytrees and to ask their own questions about life in the past.
Dressing up in aprons and waistcoats, children travel back in time to discover answers for themselves through a variety of practical activities.
