A very long time ago, people didn't build homes.
They slept in forests and caves, hunted animals, and
collected fruit. They also made things from materials
that they found around them. What did they make,
and what materials did they use?
n
People made the first tools from a stone called flint.
They used the flints in their hands or they fixed them
to pieces of wood or animal bones. People used flint
tools to cut wood and to hunt animals. In cold countries,
they used animal fur to make clothes and shoes.
Wood an Plants
People used wood and plants to make shelters -
simple places to sleep in. They cut wood from trees
to make the shape of the shelter. Then they used
other plants to make the roof and the walls. Some
people still make homes like this today.
People used grass to make threads. They pushed
threads over and under other threads to make
clothes and beds. This is called weaving. They also
made baskets by weaving thin sticks. Baskets are
great for carrying food and catching fish.
People make lots
of things from grass and
sticks, like this basket
boat from Vietnam.
