Victorian Homelife and Toys
The ‘new servants’ at Sudbury Manor must complete all household chores to the housekeeper’s satisfaction if they are to enjoy the Victorian toys at the end of a long day.
One facilitator visits your school in role as a Victorian housekeeper and works with one class at a time, giving the children a chance to explore different aspects and chores of a Victorian household, as well as a chance to play with Victorian toys at the end.
Rooms visited:
The Housekeepers Room, The Attic Bedroom, The Scullery, The Kitchen, The Drawing Room, The Nursery (with the toys)
