About These Toys
- Many were originally made for children with special needs
- For easy reference they are grouped under the senses of sight, hearing and touch.
- They are handmade, but only need average sewing or carpentry skills.
- They can easily be adapted for individual use - made heavier/lighter, larger/smaller, or more or less challenging (make more or less pieces.)
- They are made from easily obtainable or waste materials, so are inexpensive.
- Many of the toys can be made by children.
- Instant toys are made in a jiffy, Quick may take an evening, and Long-lasting will take several evenings, but the result could become a family heirloom or the favourite toy for a succession of children.
