This episode looks at a century of play for Canadian kids. In the beginning you made your own gear and toys, but some store-bought things were irresistible. What Canadian girl didn't want a Barbara Ann Scott doll? And what boy didn't die to have a Gene Autry gun or a Lash LaRue whip? Adults helped to organize clubs, camps and playgrounds - often to steer children away from trouble. In the end, getting away from adults and crossing forbidden borders have always been a part of the fun of play.
