The Irish embassy in Germany puts on a screening of the Late Late Toy Show tomorrow and has been doing it for years. That's brilliant.

Look, the pay off of this whole 6 7 thing better be us raising 6.7 million for the Toy Show appeal before the end of the show.
That's just good storytelling.

As long as there have been children, there have been toys. As it's the #LateLateToyShow we thought we'd share some of our favourite toys in the @nmireland.bsky.social
Many toys through history copy adult life, like this wonderful toy boat and sword from Viking Dublin

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal a human form. If a human finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to sea. 🦭
