Lesson Planning
Children look at a variety of toys and decide from what era each one originates. They sort the toys and then sketch three – one from each era.
Teaching Outcomes
To understand how toys have changed over time by looking at their own toys, their parents’ toys and then their grandparents’ toys and identifying differences.
Produce a sketch using close observation, suitable materials and a variety of sketching techniques, which are practised over three sessions.
Children will:
- Understand how toys and books have changed over time.
- Sort toys and books (their own and those of parents and grandparents) into old and new, and create a time line.
- Sketch three toys: one that belongs to them, one belonging to a parent and one belonging to a grandparent.
