Jigsaws
There are two jigsaws from the 1880s: 'How jolly it is to be at the seaside' and 'Skipping-time comes after lesson-time'. Jigsaws have always been used as educational toys, helping children learn not only how to put them together, but also through the pictures they show.

Look at the 'Seaside' jigsaw: Look at the different types of clothes being worn by the women , boys, girls and entertainers. Do you think the lady in the front is hot or cool? Can you spot - a boy catching a crab? A girl getting ready to make sandcastles? Two children burying themselves in the sand? People paddling? What are the wooden huts for by the sea? |
