Enquire about our Discover Boxes
Step back into the world of Victorian play with our Victorian Toys Discover Box, perfect for enriching English and History lessons through hands on exploration. Packed with traditional toys—from cup and ball and whizzers to skipping ropes, acrobat toys and early flipbooks—this box invites pupils to compare past and present, building descriptive vocabulary and speaking skills. Students handle real objects, explore their materials and mechanisms, and use them as creative prompts for character writing, instructions, or storytelling. A delightful way to inspire curiosity, ignite imagination, and bring Victorian childhood vividly into the classroom.

- Cup and ball

The contents of this box are all replicas as we intend children to use and play with them.
