Toys in the Victorian times were a very exclusive object. Only very rich families could afford toys like a rocking horses or Automata toys, which are toys that are geared and can move when you pul a handle.

Poor families would make their own skipping ropes, and tightly rap up some cloth, that the children could kick around the streets as a ball.

Richer families had toys like tee-sets and dolls, where as poorer children would be lucky if their mothers made them a doll, otherwise they would not get new toys.

A single toy could easily cost the weekly pay of the fathers job.

In the 1800 hundred, child labour was the norm. There was no such thing as child protective services like we have today.

Over a couple of decades there were laws that slightly improved working conditions and treatment of children.

The children attended a variety of different jobs.

Coal Mines

The main source of energy came from steam, and it powered a lot of things. The child labour was very attractive for the coal mine companies, because children demanded a lot less pay, and is smaller.

The Working Conditions in the Mines.

In general the working conditions were very very bad.

The pressure on the eyes caused permanent sight problems.

Respiratory problems could arise, because the mine's air was filled with coal dust, and the children were working 12-18 hours a day.

1833 - Factory Act,

This banned children from working in textile factories under the age of nine. From nine to thirteen they were limited to nine hours a day and 48 hours a week.

1842 - Mines Act

This banned the employment underground of boys under the age of ten and all women and girls. No one under the age of fifteen was to be in charge of machinery.

1847 - The Ten Hour Act,

This cut the hours of women and the under-eighteens to ten a day and 58 a week.

1850 - The Ten Hour Act

This set the working day for all workers at ten and a half hours.

1867 - Factory Act

The legislation was extended to all workshops with more than 50 workers.

The main source of energy came from steam, and it powered a lot of things. The child labour was very attractive for the coal mine companies, because children demanded a lot less pay, and is smaller. The working conditions were quite bad. Because of the pressure, small space and quality of air, the children could have permanent issues with their eyes, spine and so on.

Because of the small size of children, they also got the job of chimney sweeps, especially 3 year olds. Because of the small space it would hurt the childrens arms, elbows, legs and knees. They would get their skin scrapped and worse. If they didn't have any skin on their knees after a chimney sweeping, their boss would wash their knees with salt water and send them down another chimney without sympathy.

Victorian children and the times.
- Alot of changes through children lives
- For wealthy it was very boring and the family wasnt that connected
- For the working class had much more compact daily life, but had a better connection with the family
- Has always been there, even it was only a rock
- Toys was very expensive, so only the very rich had the means to buy even only a woorden horse.
- Imagination was the childs best friend
- The difference between the working class and the wealthy was very big, because the working class didnt have the money to afford the toys and would often be made by hand. the quality and quantity was then different.
- Often children would imitate their parents. f.x the toy theatre, the tea set or the most popular was taking care of a child in the form of a doll.
- Poor victorian children would often only have 1 toy, so they learned to be thankful and happy with that, and could spend hours and hours playing with that toy
