Give children toys that are powered by their imagination, not by batteries. (Starla Knutson)

Wood was a material easy found and used, and just as today taught and entertain children.
Wooden toys date back to the Stone Age (2.9 million years) were simple toys made of wood such as hand carved dolls, clubs, axes and bows. Plain block taught children survival, family skills such as role play, plain wooden sticks for counting, building, story telling that help with communication skills and entertainment.
A clay top was found in Iraq from the 35th century BC, nearly 6000 years old,
A wooden spin top from 1300BC was found in the tomb of King Tut.
