Toys, in the Indian context, have been much more than mere playthings. Somehow, these have also had very simplistic relationships with the activities, objects, and living beings that are a very important part of our lives. These have also been excellent examples of reusing waste or recycled materials and have also been relevant to the economy and social status of the people by being cheap (cost-wise) and yet carrying with them the very human qualities and creativity of the toymaker. These probably had a deep understanding of the nature of kids, and thus most of the toys were not “breakproof”. This temporariness and the low cost had always made these toys affordable as well as “disposable” after lives. And bamboo, a versatile material, is highly valued for its use in most of the economical toys.
