One of the upside’s of volunteering to do a clean-up job at school is that you can save the vintage classics from the un-initiated who would have destined it for the junk pile.
I love the nostalgia that these bring and personally think they’d do well in our historical artefacts collection but not everyone values the 60’s/70’s because it’s not yet old enough!
Maybe we could use them to teach about gender – dad has a car and reads the newspaper while mum pushes the pram!
But as illustrations go these are worthy of keeping especially as there is a lot of this kind of work being produced again now.
We had a tonne of these and a lot had to go but these were the best illustrated.
We do a lot of child initiated learning these days and these would have fitted right in with their ‘get some paper and make a picture’ invitation.
I shall be content to have saved a little piece of history and wait until some kind of inspiration strikes on how to use them.
Unless you have any suggestions?
