During the World Wars, food rationing within Britain encouraged families to 'grow their own'. Toys like logging machinery, tractors and ploughs were created for children to promote outdoor activities. // Interest in outdoor education has waxed and waned. In the 1950s-70s, books and toys encouraged children born during the 'baby-boom' (the period after World War II) to get outdoors and help 'regrow the country'. // Since the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a rise in toys and books promoting outdoor learning. // Toy Model, 2020/8/11/1-23
