Life as an egyptian - toys



  • what look to us like dolls or puppets were often used for religious purposes, such as offering to the gods,or for magic , to cast spell.


  • these figures were meant to work as servants for the dead person in the afterlife.


  • most children's toys were easily broken or destroyed over time by damp or fire, so few have survived, some have been found intact in the tombs of young children.


  • the family members made most of the toys. rich families might have toys made by skilled craftsmen.

Toys for babies



  • babies would be given clappers or rattles made of dried gourds,wood,clay or bones. some had metal bells or loose pebbles inside.




  • dolls were made out of cloth and wax. they often had movable arms and legs and different sets of clothes for dressing up.



  • some dolls were been found with holes drilled into their scalp to take hair made from fibres of flax.




  • as for older children play with whipping tops. these were usually made of wood, but some of clay and covered by 'faience'.




  • toys are the same but there made different and the materials or different now.
