Each exciting box contains A3 laminated photos, objects from the collection, replica artefacts and a resource pack with class and group activities.

Our Talking Box is now available!!  We have had Museum Resources for schools for many years, but now for the first time we are using modern technology.

Five mystery objects are contained in this box, when they are placed onto the device, audio will play.  Our talking loan box prompts children to write a story based on one of the objects from the Museum’s collection. The box begins the story, – how will the pupils finish it?

If you are interested in loaning this or any of our loan boxes, please contact the store info@dacorumheritage.org.uk or 01442 879525
