The Woolworths Museum

A Century of Toys Film

We love Toys - and we couldn't resist getting some of our Museum toys out of their boxes and having a play - it's what kids have been doing for five generations thanks to Woolworths, a tradition which Shop Direct Group continued for a while. The video is presented in HTML5 with video.js. Closed captions are available by clicking the 'CC' button, if you have this feature enabled in your browser.
