Playing with toys can be an enjoyable means of training young children for life in society.
Different materials like wood, clay, paper, and plastic are used to make toys. Many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used. The origin of the word “toy” is unknown, but it is believed that it was first used in the 14th century. Toys are mainly made for children. Playing with toys is considered to be important when it comes to growing up and learning about the world around us. Younger children use toys to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults.
