The Henry Ford has over 10,000 toys
and games dating from the early 1800s to the present. These playthings
include dolls, doll houses, toy animals, board games, toy automobiles
and trains, mechanical toys, construction sets, toy musical instruments,
paper dolls, tea sets, puzzles, marbles, and educational toys. These
toys and games show us how childhood and play have changed over
200 years, as well as how they have stayed the same. Toys also reflect
the technological innovations and popular culture of an era. |
