Middle and High School Programs: (6-12 grade):
The Toy Town Museum offers students of all ages a fun look back at how things used to be and how invention and technology has changed our world and even our toys. Our programs for the middle and high school students offer students the opportunity to learn through toys how a product goes from concept to design to the store shelf. Discussion includes a look at the people behind the toys from toy makers of the past and present and careers in toy making.
All our school programs can be tailored to meet our educators needs and compliment what is being taught in the classroom in order to maximize your visit to the Toy Town Museum.
