The children in 1910 may not have had the advantages that 2010's children do. Such as iphones and cell phones.
Answer
Television, Air Conditional, Central Heat & Air, Most did not live in homes with electricity and many did not have running water, no microwaves. Wells were common and I understand they were a great place to chill up a watermelon. Toys were limited. They had to make their own or use their own imagination. Definitely no Barbie Dolls. Little girls played paper dolls even when I was a child and I was born in 1935. We did have dolls then but paper dolls we considered fun. My mother use to talk about how they would cut paper dolls out of old catalogs and find poses similar to their paper dolls to get extra clothes for them. She even sent her paper dolls by mail to visit her cousin's paper dolls and her cousin sent hers to visit my mother's.
They didn't have any motorized toys.
My mother born in 1908 remembers getting on a train and going about 10 miles from Manchaca to Austin, Texas to get an ice cream cone. I don't know how old she was but that was something new.
Most kids born that far back had chores they were expected to do around their home. If they lived on a farm boys were expected after school to take advantage of daylight to get as many outdoor chores done as possible. Usually they had some to do before they went to school in the morning.
Now life use to be safer for kids. People were not so confined inside their homes as they are today.
Front porches weren't just decorations but places for people to sit in the afternoon. People would talk to each other from porch to porch and they saw children as they played. Walking home from school was safe as someone would be looking out the window or their open front door and see you as you walked home. Mothers stayed at home and took care of the home and the family so they knew what was going on in the neighborhood. Kids played from yard to yard. We knew our neighbors back then. There are about 25 houses in from the corner to the cul de sac at the other end. As a kid I at least knew the family name of every house and some on across the street that intersected. Today I don't know who lives 2 doors down from me.
