There are lots of kinds of toys.

There are educational toys. We use educational toys to learn. And there are toys we use for fun. A ball is a toy. And so are dolls and teddy bears.

The monkey in the photo and the building blocks are toys, too!

We play with dolls and action figures inside. But we can use them outside, too.

We usually use toys like hula-hoops, bikes, slides, and go-karts outside the house.

Mom wouldn’t be happy if you used them inside!

Games There are games called board games, like snakes and ladders, or chess. There are also games you play outside with friends, like hide and seek, or soccer. Games are very similar to toys. But there is one difference: in games there are rules! Rules tell you what you can and can’t do.

History of Toys Children love to play with toys.

Toys have always been popular!

Ancient civilizations made toys.

Some toys were very basic, like a stick or a rock. But some were the same as toys today. This is a photo of a doll from Ancient Greece. It’s very, very old!

In Ancient Greece they played with yo-yos. Kids still play with yo-yos today!

Toys That Help Toys are fun and they help us learn. They can help us be more creative. They help our brains develop. They keep us healthy, too!

Building blocks are great. They develop our minds. They help our coordination. This means we can move our bodies with more control. They can also teach us math and science.
