<\/a>

“We have made a Victorian doll’s house. We used cardboard boxes and doll house furniture, fabric and paints.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

This is a hobby-horse. Poorer children would have owned this instead of a rocking horse.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

We made a toy race car. “We used wood, hot glue gun, wooden wheels, dowel and paint.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

We made a toy soldier. Most soldiers were carved out of wood or made out of tin. The uniforms were the battalions colours.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“This is a polar bear reversed grizzly bear.” “Stuffed animals were popular in the 1800’s.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

We made a wooden boat. It is modeled on a toy boat that we researched. We used wood, hot glue gun, saw and paint. The boat’s engine is a rubber band propeller.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“This is a shipwreck. Children would play with boats and pretend they were fighting in naval battles.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“We made a Go-kart. We wanted to make a full size model but we did not have large enough wheels.” “We used wood, hot glue gun, saw and paint.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

This is the cup & ball. “I’m really good at it. I can get the ball in the cup in one shot!”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“We made a zeotrope. It was the first attempt at moving picture.” “You put pictures which slowly change position and look through the slots and spin it. Then you’ll see the picture moving!”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“This is our steam locomotive. We made it out of cardboard, dowel, wooden wheels. We added fluff as steam and paper clips to join the carriages together. We filled the carriages with scrap dowel as logs.”<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

We made an automata. We turn the handle to move the images. It was the first type of mechanical toy.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

Toy gliders were popular amongst boys and men in the 1800’s. Aviation was been studied more an d more.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

“We made a marionette. We hand sewed the fabric and filled it with stuffing. We chose to make a panda with a monocle because we both like pandas and it adds class to toy.” “The most famous puppets were Punch & Judy they were hand puppets.”<\/p><\/div>\n

“This is a new board game that we created. It uses dice and counters. The first one to the end of the trail wins!”<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
