OtterKnow Kids EncyclopediaLong ago, children played with many fun toys, just like you do! Instead of using batteries or screens, their toys were often made from wood, cloth, or even corn husks. Kids loved to spin colorful wooden tops and play with shiny marbles.
Some children had special dolls made of wood or soft fabric that they played with every day. Playing outside was a favorite part of the day! They would roll big wooden hoops with a stick or skip rope with their friends in the sunshine. They also played games like Tag and Hide and Seek in their yards.
- These toys and games are very old, but they are still a lot of fun to play today!
- Marbles have been played by children for over 5,000 years.
- Some of the oldest toys ever found are tiny carved animals made from stone.
