Dear all I am trying to find a supplier of toys from around the world that children can play with in our Toys school session. All I can find are toys made in different countries, books and games about multicultural understanding and "ethnic" toys made for the western market. What I'd really like are authentic toys that children from different cultures really play with. I'm sure children all around the world all play with similar types of toys - balls, dolls, tops... but I expect there are variations on a theme across different cultures, whether it is material, how it works, whatever... If anyone can suggest or recommend any suppliers, or even just knows of toys from different countries that I could try Googleing it would be much appreciated. Perhaps your museum shop sells toys from other countries and you could let me know where you source them from? (I have been in touch with local EMASS and Global Education Centre with not much luck). Many thanks for any help you can give on this one!
