Children’s early years are vitally important, and in these years they need maximum comforts, attention, and plenty of things and people to play with. Some experts even go as far as to insist that a child’s essential characteristics are irrevocably formed by the time he is five. Young parents of today are well aware of these needs. In every growing family, from which ever income group, one could always find some form of equipment for the comfort of the young children and along with that some playthings too. The type of equipment or toys may differ from one income group to another. Choice is often limited by the family resources and space in or around home.

The economic condition of an average family in India, as it is today, limits the parents ability to buy what they consider most essential for them and for their children. So buying of toys is most affected as most parents tend to give more importance to the physical comfort that they or their children can get rather than to buy toys for their children, more so as children lose interest in a toy very soon. Most often, the attempt is to improvise or make toys at home.
