Loan Boxes

Hands-on learning for schools and groups

Each box contains objects and information cards. They can be used to enhance classroom learning, to create a display, to encourage discussion, to support reminiscence or as stimulus for other projects such as open days.

The exciting part of the loan box is that all the objects can be touched and handled by your group.

£21 per box for four weeks
