The 1/2 students had a wonderful time exploring toys from the past and present during our Toys Over Time incursion! The students rotated through four exciting stations: Skills Land, Imagination Land, Construction Land and Action Land. They had the opportunity to play, build, create and explore while learning how toys have changed over time. It was a fun and hands-on experience that encouraged the students to compare toys from the past with the toys we enjoy today!
