CHILDREN from Grayswood Infant School had a chance to play with the toys of yesteryear when education officer Kay Topping visited with Haslemere museum's collection last week.

The year one pupils from silver class – more used to computer-based entertainment such as the Wii – brought in some of their own modern toys to compare.

Headteacher Anne Bristow said: "The boys in particular were fascinated by tanks and soldiers and wooden skittles."

Metal hoops, old board games and wooden toys were also popular, proving that it doesn't need a battery or electronics to make toys fun.
