We began the day by participating in a craft session where the girls made a simple "jack in the box" out of materials that most homes would have, such as; cups, straws, plastic bags and markers. The girls had a great time making these and I am sure you enjoyed seeing them Tuesday afternoon.
The girls then had a chance to play and look at many toys from the past and participated in a mini lecture from one of the educators at the Toy Museum.
During our stay at the Tokyo Toy Museum we found out that the building used to be an old school and there were many photos of what the building and the school used to be like. We used these photos later this week as a source of investigation into how school life has changed over time. The girls have all expressed that school seems like much more fun now than in the past!
