Activities: We visited the Museu do Brinquedo. We spent a really joyous time there, with our boys discovering, astonished, our first plastic toys which, it must be admitted, didn't look like much compared to today's toys
Highlights: We loved the museum and were amused by our boys' reactions to the old toys. We saw toys exposed by factory and it was interesting to see the choices made by some artisans to stand out from their competitors. We saw bears, dolls, miniature appliances, vehicles and board games ✨
