-a toy is an item that is generally used for children’s play-

(‘playing’ with toys is supposed to be an enjoyable means of training young children for life in society)

(fifferent 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)

(for instance, a small child may fold an ordinary piece of paper into an airplane shape and “fly it”)

(newer forms of ‘toys’ include ‘interactive digital entertainment’)

(some ‘toys’ are produced primarily as ‘collector’s items’ and are intended for display only)

(the origin of ‘toys’ is prehistoric; ‘dolls’ representing infants, animals, and soldiers, as well as representations of ‘tools’ used by adults are readily found at archaeological sites)

(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)

(the oldest known doll ‘toy’ that has been found is thought to be 4,000 years old)

(‘playing’ with ‘toys’ is 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)

(‘adults’ on occasion use ‘toys’ to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, help in therapy, and to remember and reinforce lessons from their ‘youth’)
