Tin Toys

Your grandparents may have played with tin toys when they were children. Most tin toys had a clockwork moter inside and had to be wound up with a key. Tin toys had very sharp edges. They would easily cut your fingers. The bright paints were made with lead which we now know is a poison.

Here are some old tin toys to talk about. Which one is your favourite? Why do you like it the best? Are clockwork toys better than toys with batteries?
