A toy is an object for babies, children or even adults to play with, and common examples include dolls, action figures, and building blocks. Toys are tools for happiness. They've been around for centuries, and they are constantly changing! In this studio, we encourage you to make projects about toys from any era and explore the wonderful world of toys! ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── History of Toys ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── The first toys do not have an exact creation date, but simple playthings made from nature date back to prehistoric times. Archaeologists have found the earliest recorded manufactured toys—such as small clay animal figurines and wheeled carts—in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley around 4000 to 2500 BCE The 20th century brought innovation for the toy industry, as Teddy bears debuted in 1902, and Crayola was created in 1903. The mid-20th century introduced plastic Lego bricks (1939–1949), the Slinky (1943), the Hula Hoop (1958), and Barbie (1959). ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── Fun facts ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── According to Google, the first toy ever advertised on television was Mr. Potato Head, which made history on April 30, 1952. PlayDoh was originally sold as a wallpaper cleaner. Marine engineer Richard games noticed how a tension spring fell off his desk and decided to invent the Slinky. Twister was originally named "Pretzel" before the company decided to call it what it's called today. Silly String was created by inventors who were trying to design a spray-on medical cast for broken bones. Two Barbie dolls are sold every second somewhere in the world. More than 1,000 different Hot Wheels models have been created. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── Project Ideas ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── Here are some project ideas that can help you as inspiration for whatever amazing creation you're going to make! ⭐ Make a project where users can design their own toys!
