The Toy Fair 2014

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 -

he liked the idea of making these to give as presents

Matt researching novelty straws that build like plumbing!

WE WANT THESE!

Talking to the rubiks rep

they make a cube especially for visually impaired but it is not available

in shops, only through ordering directly from them

Products which enable Jimmy to catch up on 

so many different things that he has missed out on

soft to touch, easy to hold

This was Matts request!

and as we are there to enable access...

Jimmy loves Schleich

they have taught him so much about animals

This was a great item as Jimmy could feel it moving

Matt on the over hand took a liking to the lady who was promoting the item!

This was a lovely item - soft to handle and very detailed

Go on Matt - SMACK HIM!

 Jimmys favorite items of the day!

He loves the Mr Men

 Well... Matt wanted to try it on!

 BOCA?

 A Huge thank you to the guys who after 5 attempts 

managed to land the micro copter on Matt s chair tray

 This was new to Jimmy

He also managed to keep amazing control for a good amount of laps, 

he used his hand to feel the track and table to Gage where the car was and its speed

 a mere snip at £10,000

 The Highlight of the day!
