Teacher Rachel Hughes said the children had enjoyed the experience.
She added: "The museum brought in some very old Victorian and older dolls.
"We looked at the materials they were made from and compared them to the ones used in modern dolls.
"There were also recycled toys from Africa, made out of tin cans and Pepsi cans.
"They also brought in noisy toys and toys for your eyes like kaleidoscopes.
"It tied in with our playtime topic, looking at the history of toys and how they compare with the toys played with by parents and grandparents.
"The children really got a lot out of it."
