Summer 2

Toys and Games in the Past

This term we will be exploring what toys and games were like in the past and how they have evolved to the toys we play with today.

We looked at a range of toys from the past and we considered who would have played with them and how might they have evolved, or if they had stayed the exactly the same and were still as popular today.

We explored the different materials that toys are made from and how these have changed through the years. We considered similarities and differences. 

We thought about what toys children would have played with through the different decades. We interviewed Mrs Brooks Pendlebury, asking her about her toys that she played with over 50 years ago. We discovered that although children played with plastic dolls 60 years ago, it was a different plastic and dolls were not as cuddly.
