First toys I played

Combat toys.

The small soldiers in green take positions linked to their Lieutenant with radio awaiting order for the next move. Their rifles are also pointing at potential targets. It was dark. One quick puff, the burning cigarette is inserted into the aperture of the rifle. One two men did that. It is the most risky act in a combat during the darkest of the night. Camouflaged with leaves and mud, those soldiers are waiting to ambush their expected enemies. True enough, the rattling of the metal of the German army rovers and tanks is getting louder. Barkings of the German Shepherd break the tranquil silence of the deep dark. The platoons of soldiers provided great fun for kids my time. Werhrmacht. What is your first toy ?

The earliest people did not have all these things. When father went hunting, some kids made himself a bow and arrow. When mother had a new baby, little sister made one out of some clay. From the ancient times and the Middle ages, beside toy soldiers, children played dolls, spinning tops and what else ? I’ve got a talking-action-pack Teddy Ruxpin in 1991 for a two years old girl from Toys R Us.

Before the 14^th century, toys were made at homes, but 5 centuries later, baby dolls became popular. In the 19^th century, science is applied to toys.

 One big toy theme park is opening on 15 September 2012 in Malaysia. The place, Kota Iskandar. The name of the theme park, Legoland Malaysia.
