sneak peeks - Toys Golore

You probably have a favourite toy that you just love to play with. Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what kinds of toys kids from other countries love?

You can find out at TOP SECRET: Mission Toys, an exhibit of toys from around the world presented by the Canadian Children’s Museum in Gatineau, Quebec. You’ll be able to touch, see and learn about toys that can look and feel very different from the ones you’re used to.

The exhibition runs until September 3rd, so if your family is planning a trip to the Ottawa area during March Break, or over the summer, make sure you visit the Canadian Children’s Museum.
