Something for 5-10yo to make - Victorian

[flamingobingo]

Come on then, clever, resourceful, creative MNers! I challenge you to come up with something a small group of home educated children could make from the Victorian era! 5-10yo.

Ready, steady, GO!

victorian iron:

toilet roll tube for handle, two strips of card from ends leading down to an iron shape piece of card for the base. maybe try to make that bit 3d for an older child how to make base bigger/heavier etc.

you can papier mache it and paint it too.

i did this with a y1 class and they loved it.

just give them the cardboard and let them work out the logistics of it.

you can always make a modern one to compare it to too!

they made them individually sorry just re-read your post.

maybe one small gr old iron/one small gr new iron then discussion?

also you could make a victorian house:

four shoe boxes stuck togther like rooms in a dolls house. they can draw pictures of furniture, rugs, people or you can make them depending on the time constraints.

what about these

or a victorian fan although the boys may well protest.

mmm tasteful but all the rage with the victorians

no - was something individual I was thinking off - thank you, DA

We've only got an hour - and some of that is going to be taken up with going through and talking about a box of victorian school artefacts - the 'make' activity is a time-filler if the conversation doesn't take the whole hour!

Silhouette idea looks good too - thank you. Boys may well not have aproblem with making a fan - less 'gender' stuff seems to go on with HE'd children (although that's a generalisation - the boys who are coming to the group probably wouldnt' have a problem).

well i did the irons with a class of 30 in an hour with a carpet session and plenary so it is doable

We recently took our class to the museum to look at victorian toys and we made one of those cups with string and a ball. you have to flick the ball up and see if you can catch it in the cup.

Just need some string, paper cups to decorate, and to make the ball we scrunched up pieces of coloured paper and wrapped some tape around.

Simples!
