Thank you, these sound like great ideas.  I believe they have some in the
museum shop.

We have obtained a variety of wood reproduction toys from the 19th and 20th
centuries that we use in our children's outreach programs.  Among these are
noisemakers, the ball and cup, Jacob's ladder, etc.  They are very popular
with children of all ages (some as old as 80!).
