Description: |
German toy makers used the abundant wood of the Black Forest to fashion almost any toy under the sun out of wood. The Elastolin Company made this barn and animals about 1910. Toys like this farm playset have helped generations of children explore the world around them. The numerous animals and the role of the farmer helped kids in urban cities understand the role of the farmer in bringing food to the grocery and the dinner table. |
