Description:

This is an absolute must for a ?Child Friendly Day Out'. Not only is it the first museum in the world to specialize in the history of childhood, it has also been described as noisiest! As well as the toys from teddies to trains you would expect to see on display, there are audiovisual displays of what it was like to be a child in the last two centuries. Two favorites are one of children chanting multiplication tables in a 1930s schoolroom and the other of children playing street games in an Edinburgh street in the 1950s. AND it's all free.
