Early American Home Life coloring pages help students get an impression of what it was like to live in the early 1800's.
Early American Women did most of the cooking over an open fireplace that also kept the home warm.
Life was hard. Daily work preoccupied both adults and children in order for them to sustain their
existence. When they had free time, adults and children alike entertained one another with storytelling,
music, dancing, and games such as marbles, dice, and horseshoes. These small diversions helped
preserve the cultural identity of individual groups of people, and helped establish the beginnings of
American culture.
