Old Toys That Should Make A come Back This Christmas
It’s true to say that toys have come on a long way over the last 100 years. 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 old toys and why they were loved so much
Rag Dolls. There is something very satisfying about a toy so simple. They were once the coolest toy to have and everywhere a child would go, her rag doll would go with her. 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. Nowadays kids prefere babies with electrically moving parts and voices. You’re not meant to wash them in the same way but I urge you to try.
Wooden Bikes. The majority of bikes in shops today are made from either plastic or metal, which have the cheapest production costs for manufacturers. You cannot beat however a hand-crafted bike made out of high quality hardwood. They were close to indestructible and looked great as the wood aged and picked up character.Often people used these wooden bikes as pieces of furniture and they just fitted in with character of most houses
Rocking horse. Much like the wooden bike, a rocking horse made from fine wood not only looked stunning in any home but also lasted a lifetime due to its simple yet effective design. The best feature about buying one of these though is that your child can still have the horsey they always wanted but without the expensive and effort of a real one. Rocking horse makers are hard to find these days but if you can find a good one then its well worth purchasing one.
