We studied several pages of our Then and Now book before focusing on these pages about the kitchen:
After talking about all the differences, we experienced the differences.
First, we went outside to our dirt spot and made some washcloths dirty.
Since there is always plenty of dirty clothes around our house, we were first able to wash clothes the modern way... which only took about 3 minutes...
Then we went outside to wash our dirty washcloths the old-fashioned way with tubs of water and bars of soap...
This took quite a long time... even with lots of little hands helping... by the time it was over, the washcloths were still dirty and we forgot to hang them out to dry! We couldn't have made it back then.
