    History comes alive, real, fun and meaningful when participants take an active part in this unique presentation.  Our HISTORICALLY-BASED "Back To The Basics" program testifies to and reveals the creativeness, inventiveness, and resourcefulness of many generations of people from many different heritages, countries, and cultures.  The program deals with the history of old-fashioned toys dating as far back as 1,000 years or more.  Our large and fascinating collection of Pre- and Post-American Colonial Period toys used in this program has been grouped into categories such as toys that: use skill and coordination, balance, fly, spin, or show other mechanical and animated movements. This program has proven to be easily adaptabale, highly interesting and very successful with all age groups.  It also serves to introduce all participants to the simple fun and pleasure derived from many toys of the pre-battery, plastic, and computer era.

DURING THE PROGRAM, all participants will experience a pleasant blending of audience-friendly, interactive, hands-on activities and fast moving demonstrations combined with informative personal discussion.

     At the conclusion of the program, two additional opportunities for hand-on experiences will be made available in the form of age-appropriate Make-It-And-Take-It Seminars in which all participants can make and decorate an old-fashioned wooden historical toy to be taken home.  They will also be given a chance to purchase our popular, reasonably-priced toys from our unique "traveling gift shoppe".
