Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Museum

Toys tell stories

Kindergarten and 1st–3rd grade

Were there games, toys, children's shows or films before Angry Birds, tablets, Monster dolls and Jänku Juss cartoons? Rumors are circulating that there were. In the museum lesson, we will get to know the toys, games and children's shows that were familiar to our grandparents who lived in the Estonian SSR. We will examine the model cars that drove along the living room parquet floor when the Beatles were doing great things in the world. We will hear stories about the toys that brought joy to Estonian boys and girls who fled to the West during World War II and to children from families deported to Siberia. Through creative activities, students become little historians who give their own interpretation to historical objects.
