The history of wooden toys for kids
Wooden toys first appeared during the ancient Greek and Roman empires. Carved from single pieces of wood that fit together they were mainly horses, carts and even dolls.
In the 1700s wooden toys became popular with German manufacturers however after WW2 the industry saw a large decline as toys were replaced by cheap, plastic versions.
