What is the central idea of this passage? Many toys have been found in excavations. Rattles and
balls were very popular. Vase paintings show children
playing in chariots. Many dolls have been found. These
are usually made of terracotta, with articulated arms and
legs. Terracotta dolls of course are more likely to survive
than those made of wood or cloth, and no doubt these
also were common. As children grew older they would
have learned to play knucklebones and dice.
