Where does the word ‘hobby’ comes from?
We all know what a bobby is. It is something we enjoy doing in our free time.
The word comes from the name of a child’s toy — hobby horse. It is a wooden stick with a horse’s head. Children play with a hobby horse, they pretend to ride a horse. It’s great fun for kids! So something we do for pleasure, not for money, is called a hobby.
Coin collecting is an ancient hobby!
2 Coin collecting is one of the oldest hobbies in the world. No one could really tell when it started. It is known that there were coin collectors in ancient Rome.
Coin collecting is known both as the ‘hobby of kings’ and the ‘king of hobbies’. The first Roman emperor Caesar Augustus was one of the most famous coin collectors. He enjoyed collecting old and foreign coins. He also liked to give them as presents to his friends.
Jigsaw puzzles started in 1767!
3 The jigsaw puzzle is now one of the most popular hobbies. The first jigsaw-puzzle was made by John Spilsbury, an English teacher of geography. He used the puzzle to teach his pupils geography. He drew the map of Europe on wood and cut it along the borders of the European countries.
The first jigsaw puzzle was a map of England and Wales, with each county making up a separate piece. Now the biggest jigsaw puzzle is nearly 7 meters long, contains 32,256 pieces and weighs 17 kg. Is your room big enough for it?
