Earmuffs 

By Kevin

These are to warm people's ears in winter.

Earmuffs are made of fluffy balls of fur,  a wire and come in rainbows of colour.

Put the wire on the top of your head so the wire can hold your earmuffs still. The two fluffy balls can warm ears and keep you cosy.

In the late 19th Century, a fifteen-year-old boy called Chester from the  USA, got very cold so he invented earmuffs. He got his grandma to put the wire into two fluffy balls of fur and he  put it on his head so he didn’t feel cold!

Soldiers in WW1 put earmuffs on their heads because it was so cold.

It was a great invention!
