Wooden children's toys in past
People started being preoccupied with manufacturing toys for their children many thousands of years ago in order to keep children busy while parents were working.
Because modern materials like plastic andrubber were not yet discovered, only material available to be used at creating child toys was wood.
Although rudimentary at first, wooden child toys became very popular with children from rich families in Egypt and The Roman Empire.
One such case was that of a ten years old girl from a wealthy roman family. She was mummified and put to rest in her tomb alongside with her most loved things.
One of her personal objects found was a wonderful wooden toy doll. It was really carefully carved and varnished, proving that parents in Roman Empire were preoccupied with quality of wooden toys they choose for their children.
It is not known whether other materials besides wood were used to manufacture toys in that period.
