Abstract
This article examines ephemera produced for French children in the interwar and early World War II period. Through a study of four different pieces related to chocolate, the article explores how imperially-themed objects like games, sticker books, and dioramas helped educate metropolitan children about the French nation and empire. The article argues that material objects like ephemera provide new opportunities to delve into the imaginaries of metropolitan boys and girls as they practiced, adopted, and interpreted their future roles as men and women of la plus grande France. This source-base therefore offers a novel way to examine the role that empire played in shaping gender in interwar France.
