Welcome
Welcome to Ah Some Eggs - Toy Companies, a free toy resource guide. We offer free toy information in the form of toy news, toy blog discussion and links to editor reviewed toy web sites. A toy is something used in play by children, adults or pets. A toy differs from a game in that toy play does not have clearly defined goals. Many items are manufactured to serve as toys, but items produced for other purposes can also be used as toys. For example, a child may pick up a household item and 'fly' it around, imagining it as an airplane. Other items, marketed as toys, are intended primarily as collector's items and are unlikely to be played with. The origin of toys is prehistoric; dolls of infants, animals, or soldiers, and miniature representations of the tools of adults are readily found at archaeological sites. The origin of the word is unknown, but it is believed to have been first used in the 14th century. The Toy Word of the Day is Sega, be sure to check back tommorow for a new toy word of the day. Please make a toy selection from the navigation. We have 10 pages of Toy News Stories.Toy News
