Many of these toys have been played with down the centuries all over the world right up until the 1970s. The arrival of battery powered toys, computer games and the overwhelming amount of plastic toys nearly condemned the 'traditional toy' to history. But people understand that kids need to play more with 'active toys' and traditional (wooden ) toys are making a huge comeback. The 'ball & cup' and 'whip & top' are examples of timeless favourite toys.
