1930s

The Great Depression of the 1930s brought some changes in how kids played. Many of them joined their parents in play for the first time, as entire families more often stayed home and found inexpensive ways to entertain themselves.

While many toy manufacturers were forced out of business, others found that they could profit by producing toys that enchanted people by being associated with famous celebrities.
