Abstract | In this article, the author discusses the changing world of toys and toy play. Children learn about themselves and their world from their play with toys. Over the past half century there has been a remarkable transformation of the toy world of children. Toys have changed in quantity, quality, and level of technology. Mass production has made inexpensive toys available in enormous quantities, and in seemingly unlimited variety. Comforting toys of wood, cotton, and wool are now made of synthetic materials. Microchip embedded toys that mimic human behavior have replaced the wind up and battery operated toys of the past. Thus, too many toys, given too often, made of synthetic material, and run by computer chips have denied children many of the benefits they once took from interacting with less high tech playthings.
