# Can you help?

  ![Image of Can you help?](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/story_machine.jpg)  15 March 2026   [Bev Brown](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/bbrown)   [Cross Fell's Learning](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/cross-fell-s-learning)

After Easter Cross Fell are going to learning all about toys past and present.

As part of this topic we are going to be sharing the story 'The Story Machine' which features a typewriter, does anyone have an old typewriter that they no longer need lurking in the attic that they would like to donate to Cross Fell to help to really bring the story to life?

If you do or if you have any vintage toys that you would like to donate to help us with our topic then we would love it if you could send them in. Thankyou in advance
