Toys are objects intended for play that help children learn and develop. There are several types of toys including exercise toys that develop motor skills, symbolic toys that encourage imagination and creativity, construction toys that improve fine motor skills and reasoning, and games with rules that aid language and memory. Toys provide recreation but also support child development through exploration, discovery, and interaction. Historically, early toys were simple objects like pebbles, while today marketing influences children as toy consumers.

they lived in caves, all they could have at hand would be a
few pebbles, which would become the first marbles.
• In its first steps, the toy was handmade and even occasionally
it was the children themselves who manufactured them,
generally looking to imitate objects of real life. The industrial
revolution took a turn in the manufacture of these fun
artifacts and the evolution of the technology allowed to create
objects more and more like the real ones for the distraction of
the children. It was from then on that the children's fun
began to be mediated by the market.
