History: Toys and games have been enjoyed by civilizations for thousands of years. Toys such as whistles, small carts, and toy monkeys are examples of toys that have been unearthed from ancient times. Around the turn of the 20th century, is known as the golden age of toy development. As wages rose for working class families, so did their disposable income. This created a greater demand for toys. In 1897, plasticine was invented. By 1900, the material started being used in the production of children's toys. Plasticine in the early days was used in simple dolls and toy cars. Now it is used in video games and robotic figurines. Toys have long been a part of the development of children around the world and will continue to bring them enjoyment.
