This exhibition was held in December 2003 and showcased a variety of toys from the 20th century.

Items from Moray Museums' collection were enhanced by loans of toys from the general public, Friends of the Museum and the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh.  

The giving of gifts is just one of our Christmas traditions that became popular in Britain in Victorian times (1837 - 1901), and it was during this period that toy manufacturing flourished.  

From baby dolls and Noah's Arks to teddy bears and steam trains, children played with a wider selection of toys than ever before.  

Despite changes in society, and improving technology, children still love to play with many of these toys today.

The toys on display dated from the late nineteenth century, through to the early twenty-first century.

Do you remember playing with any of these examples?
