Historical information

Women in early settler days and 1900's managed the household and had to be self sufficient and were skilful cooks providing meals for their families. Normal daily life involved washing clothes, ironing, cooking meals and baking cakes, scones, bread, pastries and biscuits whilst caring for the children and making and mending the family's clothes. Animal shapes were fun for the children to help make and eat.
