See the Jorvik Vikings and other people on Caboodle

February 15 2010

Caboodle, our new collecting website for kids has six exciting sections! And one of them is People.

A model of a viking working with tools.


For example, you can travel back in time on Caboodle and see amazing pictures of Vikings.

They were given to us by our friends at Jorvik Viking Centre.

We love the pictures of the Vikings at work and play. Which is your favourite?

Take a look and discover their clothes, possessions and way of life.

Can you imagine what it would be like to be alive in those times?

What job would you do?

A Viking at work making wooden objects.



You'll also be able to see what a street looked like in Viking times and a man called 'The Antler Worker', as well as 'The Woodturner'.

There are many other collections on the 'People' section of Caboodle.

You'll see kings, queens and people out and about having fun.



Perhaps you like to look at people in suits of armour, Tudors or young people from times past? It's all in the 'People' section.

How does the school photo compare to yours?

Do you think the teacher looks scary?

A collection of shiny balls with the reflections of people in them.



Someone has also done a cool Caboodle called Shiny friends. It shows their friends reflected in various surfaces - we think it looks great.

Why don't you try something like it and make lots of cool, arty 'People' pictures with effects.

We'd love to see a collection of them on the Caboodle site.



You'll also find a Caboodle full of pictures of Lego people. There are Lego builders, a cowboy and a gigantic Lego Pharaoh.

Do you have a collection of 'People' toys that you can show us on Caboodle? We'd love to see it.

Have you ever been to a museum and seen a brilliant 'People' collection? Maybe you saw clothes, shoes or old photographs?

On our Caboodle 'People' section we have an excellent Caboodle called Saving the Country from a school pupil who visited the Royal Armouries and saw armour, a medieval helmet and a picture of a king.
