Author Dave Veart: New Zealand toy production and children at play in our communities

108 NZ Toy Production And Children At Play

While many of the toys we are familiar with in our communities have been imported from the United Kingdom, Asia and the United States, there is a story to be told of many years of local production and enjoyment.

Historian, archaeologist and author, Dave Veart shares his research and depth of knowledge in an illustrated presentation. From a heritage of games in kāinga, through homemade toys and games, to a wealth of local production, this is a fascinating story delivered by an excellent raconteur.
