Toys and Games

Shari’s collection of reproduction toys and games are documented to the 18th century or before. She has a patient and interesting way of describing the origin, use and importance of the toy or game and then teaching the correct technique for playing with it.

A partial list of games and toys includes:

  • Stilts
  • Trundling hoops
  • Two balls
  • Bat and Trap
  • Shinney
  • Marbles
  • Cups and balls
  • Skittles
  • Quoits
  • all sorts of Tsoigs
  • and many more!

Shari has had diverse experience with all types of audiences, from very young children to intergenerational groups and tourists from many different countries.
