This trunk includes toys that students may be unfamiliar with. Many were in use during the colonial era, but some date back to nearly 5000 years ago (ours are replicas, of course). Each toy comes with a history, so this trunk isn't just for play time. There are also templates and instructions for the students to create their own "old time toy"!  We sincerely hope you utilize this FREE resource! To schedule, simply call Emily at (260)563-9070, or send her an e-mail at emilyp@wabashmuseum.org.
