TOYS!
Did you know that there is a toy hall of fame? What toys were/are your favorites? What toys would you like to see in the Hall of Fame?

Homework
Make a toy. Conduct a bit of research and find and make a toy. If you are a fan of Pinterest, you could find ideas there. Listen for examples in class. Your task is to make a toy out of odds and ends that you find around your home or yard. Do NOT spend money on this project. Think about it. What toys might interest children? Would boys prefer something different from girls? These could be toys from another culture and/or time.

In addition to your toy, write a one-page report on the history of your toy. Tell the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the toy. Give credit to your sources. Or, if you made up the toy and are the creator, tell how to make it! Provide step-by-step instructions. We will play with the toys after the group presentations on Thursday. BRING your toy to class to share.
