When we step back into the nineteenth century we have scenarios to create, projects to work on, dinner to cook, and visitors to talk to. We have plenty on our plate to keep us busy. Children who are new to the hobby or who are accustom to modern games and activities need a little guidance. Here are some Children’s Activity Sheets filled with some of the activities I’ve used for kids attending Pioneer Days Camp and at events. Please feel free to print these out to make part of a child’s kit for your family or group.
*One note – You will see corn husk dolls included. I do not have documentation for non-Native Americans in Western New York in the early or mid-nineteenth century playing with or making these dolls. As the Stone Tolan House was a meeting spot with a council rock, corn husk dolls were incorporated into discussion of local Native Americans.
I plan to work on a chores list as well. It will be full of child safe projects kids may enjoy while they learn and help teach visitors.
