Toys
Your teddy wakes you up to show you three toys, which they’ve stolen from different eras: a porcelain doll, a metal car and an electronic Gameboy. You tell Teddy you need to time-travel back to return each one to its rightful owner. But how will you work out which toy belongs to which time period?
