Most children of the Victorian era played with toys that were handmade and basic, usually made of wood, tin or cloth. Children would have building blocks or alphabet blocks. Older children had wooden jigsaws. Luckier children might have a wooden Noah's ark complete with pairs of wooden animals or even a wooden rocking horse. Most dolls were rag dolls made from strips of cloth and a wooden stick or spoon. Some cheap wooden dolls, called dutch dolls had jointed limbs which moved. More expensive dolls were made from cotton stuffed with horse hair, topped with a wax head and face and dressed in elaborate dresses. Cradles and prams for dolls were also wooden. Rich children had a dolls house. Boys played with tin toy soldiers. Towards the end of the Victorian era expensive mechanical toys, made of tin and wound up with a key came on the market. The Victorians loved novelties so walking, talking and moving dolls was another popular novelty toy. Poor Victorian children played on the streets a lot. There was no traffic to endanger them. They played hopscotch and marbles they rolled hoops made of iron or wood. They played with bean bags and wooden spinning tops. They skipped with ropes and played football with a rag football. Wealthy children could afford roller skates.
