Abstract

The paper presents an overview of so far known kinds of children’s toys and games from the prehistoric period, i.e., from the earlier stone age to the early iron age, which lasted about six thousand years. Examples of prehistoric culture toys from Croatia and the neighbouring countries are mainly described. Whenever possible, parallels are drawn with toys and games from the ancient Greco-Roman world.
