Hello

We have some lead soldiers and animals that we use in our Toys session with KS1 children.  They are currently loose in a perspex box and are getting damaged from moving around inside it.  The children can't handle them because they are lead, but we wondered if there was anything we could do so they could be handled safely.  I've asked our technician about setting them in resin and apparently that is a really bad idea and would destroy them!  Other than sitting them in plastizote inside a sealed perspex box, does anyone know of any other ways we can let the children see these objects that keeps them, and the objects themselves, safe?

Thanking you
Karen
