In Class or Virtual Workshops
The Toy Inventors Club
Perfect for Virtual Field Trips or In-Class Activities
We offer the perfect programs for homeschooling, after school programs, classrooms, and camps. Our teaching philosophy believes in enriching students to succeed by providing a variety of activities and fun games to play while learning. It is our highly regarded specialty.
This is an educational, inspirational and interactive program that is also very exciting and fun. The program begins with a brief introduction of classic toys from long ago.
Students will learn about events from the past and why these selected toys were invented. This introduction is an important step in the creative process and helps to establish the skills necessary to transform their ideas into something more.
Lastly, basic principles for inventing a toy are discussed then tested out as each student invents their own game.
Downloadable Supplies included.

"As a teacher, rarely am I able to give this amount of flexibility and space for exploration in creating a final product, so this was perfect! The Toy Museum of NY created a great presentation and activity for our students."
