Christmas Toys Through the Ages Liver wonder, as you watch your child unwrap his Christ- i mas toys, what kind of play- things Santa brought to child- ren hundreds of years ago? Greek and Ionian children of early Christian times were given puppet -dolls, cunningly made, with jointed, movable t wooden linitis --and a hole in the head. A string passed through this bole, and connec- ted to the arms and legs, turn- ing the doll into a marionette. Christmas meant a new sup- ply of rattles and. tops for little ones of the Middle Ages. In the 12th and 13th centuries, little girls usually had to settle for crude clay dolls. But little boys of that era got toy horses and knights as gi fts. At the Cluny Museum in Paris,there's a medieval knight on horseback --just 2-i inches high -the ancestor of our toy soldier. Children lucky enough to be born to royalty or nobility re- ceived royal treatment when it came to gifts. Among the de- lights these children might find in their Christmas stocking were soldiers made of silver or even of gold! The girls might get tiny perfect copies of house- hold furniture or utensils for their 'baby houses". Meanwhile, Christmas toys were btanching off in still another direction --the first crude mechanical toys appear- ed as early as 1000 A.D.! They were equipped with clockwork in 1672 by the toymakers of Nuremberg, already famous for their dolls. A French sailor who had fought the losing bate tie of Trafalgar with Napoleon was the unlikely pioneer of mass-produced clockwork toys. From about 1650 on, fore- sighted parents bought German- ttiadc toy kitchens for their little girls. These contained a complete battery of miniature cooking utensils in.copper, pewter and wood. Later, Eng- lish toyrnakers began producing one -roomed houses- -represent- ing butcher shops, tailor shops and other establishments --for little boys. Tinkertoy, invented in 1914 by an Illinois man named Char• les Pajcau is stili going strong. It continues to fascinate chil- dren in a wide age range with its chalice for creative play.
