Edwardian children would have played with toys and games just like you, including dolls, boats,
puzzles, trains, dolls' houses, toy animals and rocking horses.
![Page 19: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other toys were invented in the Edwardian era too, including Meccano and the teddy bear!
Teddy Bear made in about 1911

![Page 20: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ideas about food and drink were very different to today.
Children had meals high in carbohydrate and low in fruit and meat, in fact many people were
scared to give their children fresh fruit!
![Page 21: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Children in wealthy families would have eaten a portion of hot or cold
meat with potatoes and gravy, and a vegetable such as cabbage; and
steamed pudding and custard, or milk pudding and jam to follow.
Children in poorer families would often have kept going on bread and
margarine or bread and jam, with the occasional catch-all stew or soup.
![Page 22: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
They did have sweets though…!In the sweet shop were peppermint
lumps, boiled lemon sweets, liquorice allsorts, sherbert, caramel,
toffee and cinder toffee (better known as Crunchie!!).
![Page 23: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Life at school in the Edwardian era was very different to how it is
now.
![Page 24: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The children that went to school were in fact quite lucky, as they
were at school and not working. It was legal for children over 9 years old to work for a living until 1918,
when the age was raised to 12.
![Page 25: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Edwardian schools were similar in a lot of ways to modern ones. Classes were taken in the 3 R's
(Reading, Writing and Arithmetic) and there were also
physical education lessons.
![Page 26: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Girls were generally also taught how to cook, clean and run a
house properly.
![Page 27: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In addition to their normal lessons, young people also usually attended
Sunday School, which was often taught by their classroom
teachers.
![Page 28: The Edwardian Period 1901 – 1910](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568138cd550346895da08840/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
If you were disobedient at school, you would have been punished.
Teachers used the birch, cane or tawse (the leather strap which could be soaked in water to make it heavier) particularly
on boys.
Other punishment involved humiliation (the wearing of a dunce's cap or label,
or standing in front of the class, boredom (isolation, menial tasks, lines),
or the withdrawal of sweets, pocket money or other privileges.
