[Artemisia] Period Toys & Games Question

[Raven Macleod]

Good point however we most kids lack the resolve it takes to make fire
by rubbing sticks together, with some exceptions of course :D

While I see your point, kids will fin ways to get hurt or in trouble
just as easily as they find ways to play with whatever they have at
hand. Most kids will just play; again there are all ways exceptions your
lordship :) 

Supervision is always the key, if you don't want you kids bludgeoning
each other with the video game paddles (dating myself there huh?) then
be there to make sure that they don't. You can't watch them all the time
but if your there at the right times your likely to stop trouble before
it starts.

With tongue firmly placed in cheek!

"with a bit of sticks, rocks, dirt, water, etc.  it's endless... a lot 
messier, but definitely cheaper too..."



I kinda like the rocks issue. Heck rocks have been around forever. Let
them 
play with rocks. In fact get a little piece of leather.......oh say 3
cubits 
long, then put another little piece of leather in the middle, then a
rock 
and lets all see what happens.  COOL !!

I kinda like the sticks issue. Heck sticks have been around forever. Let

them play with sticks. In fact get a couple of sticks and rub them
together 
for a while. One long thin round one and one kinda flat one. Put the
round 
one on the flat one and rub them together in a sweeping motion, rubbing
it 
back and forth in your palms, lets all see what happens.  Cool !!

I kinda like the water and dirt issue................



OK, I'm gonna leave now.
