Summary and Objective
Students will understand that there were toys, clothing, and furniture made for young children during the 18th and 19th centuries. Students will view images of items used for children during that time period. Children will try to identify the items and imagine why and how they were used. Students will compare items that are used presently that have taken the place or improved upon the items of the past. Discussions will include: Why have things changed? How were things made then? How are they made now? What materials may have been used and why? Do you think all children had these items? --- Students will create children's clothing, toys and/or furniture as they would imagine it would be 200 years from now.
