History of toys and games

This History Channel website follows the history and origins of favourite toys and games, from a Babylonian board game in 4,000BC that was probably an ancestor of chess and checkers to modern-day dolls and board games.

Toy and game inventors are profiled and a timeline for toy development is provided.

Favourite and well-known games are profiled and include: Barbie Dolls, crayons, Monopoly, Scrabble, Teddy Bears and the Yo-Yo.

The website is of interest to writers either researching the origins of toys and games or those who may be checking their writing against historical accuracy.
