Thaumatropes were very popular in Victorian times. They were a kind of optical illusion. We all made one with a bird and a cage and then we were able to make our own design.

Victorian Toys Found by a Metal Detector
Katie showed us little Victorian toys, which her Dad has found with his metal detector. She also brought in a book which helped her identify different toys which are known to be found. The boys especially loved the cannon, which the Victorians actually fired.
Thanks to Katie’s Dad for letting us see these super finds.
