Toys have delighted children from the beginning of time.
Little girls have rocked their dolls to sleep, played house, dressed up as different characters, played at cooking, nursing, teaching and other professions all with the help of toys.
Boys have enjoyed toys from cars to trucks, from toy soldiers to farm animals, from balls to bats and so much more.
From miniature replicas of real life to imaginary creations, toys are an essential part of childhood.
Infant rattles and bath toys, miniature sewing machines and every variety of doll, trucks that you push and trucks that you sit in form a small part of the toys available in our day.
Trains have delighted young and old alike from Thomas the tank engine to exact miniatures of real engines and tracks.
Electronic toys have appeared on the horizon as children keep pace with a more modern world.
