Child’s Play

Action shot of a girl jumping rope in a backyard in the 1890s

This fun, hands-on exhibition explores the toys and games of childhoods’ past. Traditional favourites like hopscotch and ball games are still enjoyed by children today, while other toys and games have been greatly impacted by technological, economic and social changes.

Child’s Play takes us back in time, an opportunity to reminisce. Younger visitors can learn and enjoy games played by parents and grandparents, from knuckles to spinning tops, tin toys to wooden toys, and much more. Come and join in the fun!

Exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
