Thank You Toy Fair
Extreme Clowning / 1st sensory legion enable
access to the world of entertainment and popular culture
for visually impaired and disabled adults.
We attended your fair on Wednesday and had an amazing time
We use toys all the time in our work
whether it is to aid discovery or stimulation
We use them in clowning, plus we hold large film and tv related events
where toys become fantastic items of reference
we came with Jimmy who is both Deaf and Blind
and Matt who has Cerybal Palsy
Both who enjoy toys in a completely different way
we all had an amazing day and met some lovely
people and discovered some amazing products
If there are any companys who remember us
from the day and wish to donate any sample products
please contact JJ at -

Please have a looks at our photos of the day below
see you all next year
