So what did kids do when they got bored while they were learning to read and write in the 13th century? Pretty much what kids do now, really! Archeologists discovered some drawings done by a Russian boy called Onfim who lived in Novgorod in the 12th or 13th century. He drew pictures of his friends, himself as a warrior in battle, and with his dad. (Warning: because this is a freeserve site it has pop up adverts.)
