Toy hacking was one of the fun activities hosted by Caledon Public Library last Tuesday at the Margaret Dunn Valleywood branch as part of March break. Participants got the chance to make their own toys by taking some apart and using the parts to assemble new ones. Marion Wood of Caledon East assisted her sons Jake, 9, and Theo, 6, as they were hard at work taking things apart.
