Rocking Horses
Look at any illustration of a children’s room, and you’re bound to find rocking horses included in the tableau. Rocking horses are some of the world’s most cherished classic toys, and are made of such fine craftsmanship and have such universal appeal that they are often passed down from one generation to the next. While they traditionally come in dappled gray, you can find them in many, many colors and sizes.
Kites
“Let’s go fly a kite, up where the air is light…” so goes the song about these classic toys from the classic musical Mary Poppins. While kites have no batteries or gizmos attached, they are a feat of skill—you need good aerodynamics. In fact, many see them as the precursor to planes, since the Wright Brothers studied kite movements while working on their historical invention.
The great thing about kites is that they can bring many happy hours of parent-child bonding. Make one together, and then take outside when the weather’s right. For some people, kite flying is a serious hobby, and they join worldwide kite flying competitions.
