Maker 02 Teacher's Guide Unit 4

Many children used to play with rocking horses made of wood because people used to ride horses as a means of transportation. Just like in the present, in the past toys also imitated adult life on a smaller scale. This is a toy made of wood and iron and it has three wheels. Adults used to ride bicycles and tricycles too—a lot bigger ones! Not so long ago, people used to take photos with analog cameras. They used to take the film that went inside the camera to a shop and it used to be expensive to get the photos printed. People didn’t use to see the photos immediately, they waited for hours, days or weeks to see that special vacation beach photo. In the past, people used to make all the food themselves in a stove at home. There was no delivery food back then and people used to wait for hours for a meal to be ready.
