Create Your Own Scooter Design
For centuries, children’s toys were generally home-made, created out of other everyday objects. But many museums also have toys that were home-made as a result of rationing resulting from the Second World War, like this simple child’s scooter. Many materials, including rubber and metal, experienced shortages.
Use the resources on this page to create your own spectacular scooter design – set free from the restraints of rationing. How would you improve this version?
