Top toys of the last 100 years 1920-2020

From the terracotta dolls of Ancient Rome to the Rubix Cube, children’s toys are something which has been ever present in societies across the world for thousands of years.

They can play a significant role in a child’s development, both physical and cognitive, and can also allow a parent to strengthen the bond they have with their child.

Most of us will have some very fond memories of our favourite toys from when we were growing up, and at The Baby Hamper Company, we love the idea that we’ll be providing babies with some memories that could stay with them for the rest of their lives.
