Toys – Then and Now

We will be looking at the different toys that children played with long ago and today.  In Inquiry we have been learning about continuity and change in history, from the way the early settlers lived compared to today and now we will be looking at toys the same way.

Some of the questions we want to ask are:

  • How do we know about the past?
  • How do we know what toys children played with in the past?
  • How do we know what games children played in the past?
  • How do we find out about toys that are old?
