The Best Children’s Toys

New toys are made every single day and old toys have to make way for them. We have all but said goodbye to the traditional, individually handmade toys and now embraced mass-produced electrical toys that have lights and sounds and eat batteries like grains of rice.  Let’s take a look at some of the most iconic traditional toys and why they were loved so much

Rag Dolls. These toys are beautifully simplistic. Once upon a time every little girl had a rag doll and they would go everywhere the child went. The best bit is, if you managed to prize them from your child’s hand, they could be dumped in some hot soapy water, hung out to dry and would be as good as new the next day. Barbie and her electrical friends are sadly the toy of choice these days. These cannot be washed using the same method but I would encourage you to give it a go.

Wooden Bikes. The majority of bikes in shops today are made from either plastic or metal, which have the cheapest production costs for manufacturers. There is no beating however a bike that has been loving crafted out of good hardwood. They didn’t break down anywhere near as much as modern bikes do and the aging wooden looked beautiful.On top of this, having an old wooden bike a room added a lot of character to it and people even bought them just for their aesthetic value

Rocking horse. Similar to a bike made out of wood, a wooden rocking horse looked great in any house and also lasted generations due their quality and simple design. The best bit about a rocking horse however is that you can buy your daughter what she has always dreamed of,  without having to hire stables and muck it out every day. Rocking horse makers are hard to find these days but if you can find a good one then its well worth purchasing one.
