As part of their history studies, Year One have been looking at old fashioned and modern toys. They have been comparing toys from the past and those that are played with by today's children. They have compared teddies - one as old as Mrs. Armstrong with a brand new bear. They have looked at the types of toys that Victorian children would have played with and the types of materials they were made from. Children had fewer toys in those days and often, especially toys played with by poorer children, they were home made.
Year One pupils had a go at making their own toys to play with. They made old fashioned peg dolls. These started off as traditional wooden pegs. At first Year One boys were not so excited about making 'dolls' but when they began making 'Ghost Peg dolls', they had great fun.
Here are the next set of peg dolls - our Princess range! Dainty, pretty and great fun to make...
