| | First step towards large-scale manufacture of toys was a true
revolution in the entire toy manufacturing industry: Toys were made
from papier-mache - mixture of paper and sand, cement and flour. Along
with old carver, making wooden houses and horses, molder also appeared
in the history of toys. Molder makes toys not with hands but instead
molds consistent substance into a shape. With this, transition towards
full mechanical production method is completed.
From all types of toys - soft toy is the latest one. Soft toys are
prototypes of various animals, which were stitched by caring mothers
for their children. Soft toys are made from rag cloth, filling them
with cotton and decorating them using various fancy work skills,
knitting and sewing. These soft toys appeared only in XIX century. At
the end of XIX century, handicraft industry, manufacturing soft toys,
got wide-spread development on a large scale. At the beginning of XX
century, there was a boom in production of soft toys and plush bruin
phenomenon emerged. Everywhere around the world, teddy bear has become
a favorite toy of not only the children but also of elders.
Soft toy is very popular and in XXI century, it is a favorite in spite
of technical progress. Today, children play computer games, adore
Pokemon and Ferby but very loyal friend remains a worn teddy bear. |
