Many kinds of toys were hand-made for children: wooden ducks, dogs, horses, trains, trucks, doll houses and tops (“ċippitotu”). Girls played with cloth dolls, knitted toys, pretended to be housewife and enjoyed making buns with mud.
When the older children and adults are out enjoying the more competitive games the little ones can be left to love and appreciate these wonderful toys from a bygone era.
