Paying it Forward

Imagine that you were able to travel back in time to visit a family in the 1930s. What special gifts or treats would you like to bring with you? I would likely bring blocks of Whittaker’s chocolate, bags of Jet Planes and Pineapple Lumps, healthy food snacks, clothing, and games for the children. What about you?

I would give them.....
bright clothing
food
treats
costumes for the kids to play in
to show how a phone works in 2017.
