Sword and Shield History Projects

These ‘ready to play' sword and shield packs are more than creative play or active role-play toys. Each pack becomes a key stage two and three history project with lots to make, do and discover! In each pack you will find the shield and sword, as well as a large and informative colouring poster, a large print rubbing sheet (with the chosen image of the shield) and a helpful information sheet to explain how to finish both shield and poster!

The kite shield was developed with its taper that meant it could be held close to the body, covering nearly all the left side. When warriors were massed in tight shield walls the taper blocked under cuts to their legs. The Anglo-Saxons copied the Vikings and used this shield for their heavy armed House Carl infantry. Our Norman ancestors were descended from Viking invaders of France, so we tend to think of this as a Viking or Norman shield.
