Pop-up display: Homemade Toys

Admission free | No booking required

Bull roarer donated by Donnchadh Ó Floinn, Maynooth, Co Kildare. NMI Collections F:1934.18

Join Museum Curator Tiernan Gaffney to learn about homemade toys in the Irish Folklife Collection from 1pm to 3pm on Sunday, 22 December 2024.

Long before video games and plastic, children with the help of their parents used materials like wood, rushes and recycled materials to make their own toys!

Find out how some of these toys were made and have a go at playing with a selection of the toys from the Museum’s handling collection.

This is a free drop-in activity. No booking required.
