Creative Playthings
Educational toys are not a modern idea, in fact before the mid 1800's almost all toys were educational. In the ancient world children's educational toys were used to get the children ready for their role in life. Boys had bows and arrows to train them as hunters. Girls had dolls to teach them about raising their own children. By the 18th century other teaching toys had evolved. John Locke the English philosopher created wooden letter blocks to teach children the alphabet, John Splisbury an English map seller stuck a map of England on a wooden board and cut out the counties individually. These "Dissected Maps" were used to teach youngsters the counties of England. Friedrich Frobel, the creator of the kindergarten system, created building blocks as toddler educational toys. So the creative playthings that are readily available today carry on a long tradition of educational kids toys.
