How Kid Toys Have Evolved Over The Last 20 Years
The toys you see filling the shops on the high street are certainly a world away from the toys we had as kids. The bells and whistles on toys today didn’t even begin to live in our imaginations as kids and the toys we did play with were in a totally different league than the toys of our parent’s childhoods. When you walk down the toy shop aisle in a store you will see a million different toy options wooden toys still hold their own. Of course we are seeing more children becoming more tech savvy as they grow up in a culture driven by technology will old wooden toys still have value?
You may think that this is given however toy manufactures are still designing toys based on older, classic designs and learning toys that can really take a beating.
While the wooden toy maker has fallen into the minority the toys they make have durable and unique quality that definitely still has a place in the toy market today. It is no surprise that wooden toys from 20 years ago are still intact today.
We still see wooden cars and trains do well in terms of competing with new high tech toys and especially for toddlers ages. At toddler age the technology aspect is of course lost so traditional toys has a good advantage here.
I don’t think toys are used any more aggressively than they were years ago if anything probably more. The difference lies completely in the way the toys are manufactured and produced. You don’t see beautiful dolls houses being made like you use too.
There is limit to what toys makers can now do when it comes to making toys which are more interactive and engaging. However I think may people still believe you can’t beat traditional toys for good old fashion fun compared to all the new gadgets on the market today.
