Toys and children 1 Undoubtedly when we think about our childhood we remember with joy and satisfaction the hours spent playing with toys alone in our bedroom or along with our brothers, sisters and friends. We used to travel with the fantasy, and therefore we alternately were cowboys, policemen catching criminals, spacemen exploring a new planet and so on. Many years ago toys were sometimes really expensive because they were handmade, while today they are really cheaper because they are made in large scale in factories and as a result parents can effort the purchase of lots of toys for their children.
