A Phenomenal Childhood Questionnaire

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

With this questionnaire the Finnish Toy Museum Hevosenkenkä from Espoo collects information about childhood in different time periods. The material that is collected via the questionnaire can be used in the Toy Museum’s activities and development, and it gives us valuable information about childhood phenomena from different times. Return to your memories for a spell and tell us what ingredients your childhood was made of! You can even interview someone else, for example someone elderly who can’t access the internet.

The questions are broadly formulated and answering is both voluntary and freeform!

All respondents may partake in the lottery of a prize from the museum shop. We collect emails only for the lottery and for eventual follow-up questions. We follow the data protection regulation, we do not use email addresses for marketing purposes (with the exception of those who subscribe to our newsletter) or give out contact information to third parties.

Thank you for your time and help!
