Toys now and then

Add to My Folder

By Helen Watts — Editor, Literacy Time

This interactive resource will support both literacy and history. It provides the opportunity for children to use their own experience of toys to try to construct a timeline. The children will recognise many of the toys, and may notice some similarities to their own toys and games. Once the timeline is complete, the slide show text provides some fascinating background detail.
