Who remembers these?

I saw some pre-made in the store the other day. I taught my scouts to do them a couple of years ago as part of a history lesson in toys/games of the late 19th century.

The 19th century (January 1, 1801 – December 31, 1900).

I wasn't aware that they had those. Lol

Do you mean 20th century? Lol

This makes us sound really old.

So old that you would be dead in fact. Lol

No, I meant 19th C.

I remember watching other kids with the notes and the other things, laughing when they were caught with them, and leaving school on time while they sat in detention. I did not learn that object lesson very well, but still avoided school disciplinary actions. In later years, the "breaking the rules" lessons were learned the hard way, from first-hand experience.

Anybody remember the contraband cinnamon toothpicks?

If you Google Cootie Catchers there are some really cool templates to print out.

Wow, yet another thing children these days can be lazy about. We had to decorate and label our own. Imagine that. *shrugs*

Blast from the past.

This made me smile!

When I was in school we use to write all our notes in Theban so the teachers couldn't read them...especially so they couldn't read them to the class.
