Victorian Children In Victorian times life was hard on Victorian children. They had a lot of chores to do. Boys had to chop firewood, while girls had to help their mothers with cooking and cleaning. Even in all this hard work, there was little money to pay for shoes and clothes. Boys even wore dresses until the age of five. There was little time for playing if you were in a working family. You even had to make the toys yourself! If you were a wealthy child though life was a lot different. You had no chores to do and you had better toys. You were brought up in a nursery, and were expected to be very polite.

It was terrible they had no mobiles!
