A teacher has put together a display of banned toys he took off children in the classroom during his career. The collection is being shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood in London. All these toys were taken from girls.

The toys were taken by teacher and artist Guy Tarrant from London schoolchildren in 150 different schools. These were all taken from boys.
