American Kids in History: Victorian Days
Share the fun, challenges, dreams, and adventures of life in Victorian America. What would it be like to grow up in New York City during the Victorian era? Travel back to 1893 and find out. Be a part of the daily lives of two New York families, the Kadinskys and the Hobarts, during this time of growth and change with fun and easy projects, recipes, activities, and games.
Make cinnamon bread sticks, create paper cutouts and cook up your own rock candy. Learn more about the Victorian’s love of nature and collecting by making plaster of paris casts of natural objects like autumn leaves—or animal footprints. From the kitchen to the basement workshop and from the bustling beach resort at Coney Island to the ice-skating rink in Central Park, Victorian Days will take you back to a fascinating period in American history.
