History in Hand Time Trove (K-2)

The K–2 Time Trove introduces young learners to history through simple, engaging activities that encourage them to touch, explore, play, ask questions, and discover.

Students may explore:

• 🌿 Historical tools and household objects, including a mortar and pestle and examples of how herbs were used

• ✏️ Old-fashioned school experiences featuring slate writing boards and historical schoolhouse photographs

• 🎲 Colonial-era games and toys, such as cup-and-ball, quoits, and tops

• 🪶 Quill pens, ink, and early writing activities

• 🥛 Historical food and household practices, including how milk was stored and how butter was made

• 🪭 Everyday objects such as hand fans that show how people stayed comfortable before modern conveniences

• 📜 Historical photographs, stories, and background information to bring each activity to life
