Colonial Toys




The students stepped back in time and experienced life as a colonial student in a one room schoolhouse at Quiet Valley. They created toys, from whirligigs,quoits, corn husk dolls and drums, a knickerbox, 9 pins, a cup and ball to a thaumatrope and draughts and a game of Fox and Geese to complete our colonial times unit. We enjoyed playing these simple toys during indoor recess. Great projects!
