Why were the Children's Toys so different than today?

Different Children Games

        The children's toys weren't as different as they were today because we still play with balls and use push and pull toys. Children in Egypt played with spinning tops. The balls that they played in Ancient Egypt were made out of clay I'm sure that hurt is they didn't catch it!In our world they are made out of latex, plastic and rubber. Some of the pull toys they used in the old days of Ancient Egypt were the horse and a little wooden cat that is pulled by string. Today, there are quite a bit of different kinds of pull toys in our wild stores of ours. Other toys Egyptian children played with was rattles, tops and miniature weapons.

How long ago was it when the children played with the Little Wooden Cat?

The Cat Toy

        Egyptian children usually played with a toy called the Little Wooden Cat over 3,000 years ago. The toy has only a couple moving parts. The first one is the cat has a movable jaw; it is one of the several surviving figures with moving parts. Some moving parts include a wag-able tail. As you can see this must have been a fun entertainment for the little children.
