(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2010) Kabacińska, Katarzyna
The author, on the background of historical circumstances of the development of children’s toys,
shows both timeless aspects of the toys (their functions are as follows: educational, ludic, socializing),
as well as a certain conservatism in a children's toy. The purpose of the text is to show
that on the one hand, a today’s toy refers to its predecessors, and on the other hand, it has some
characteristics of modernity.
