CHILDREN developed their natural expertise in the only things which matter: toys.

Eighty pupils aged from six to seven years old from Whitehill Infant School, Sun Lane, Gravesend, visited east London's Museum of Childhood, to compare puppets, mechanical toys and dolls with those of the modern day.

A story-teller added to the magic of the day, which was to complement their school project on moving toys.

Teacher Valerie Kemp said: "They had great fun looking at and playing on toys of all shapes and sizes, new and old."
