Children‘s Toys

Toys that have a distinctly educational dimension include children’s kitchens. In the privileged strata of society, such kitchens, including a stove, cookware and other accessories had been a feature for several centuries. And just as kitchens themselves and the ways food was prepared and used changed, so did the kitchens used as toys.

The image on the stamp shows a modern kitchen suited to the world of play for today’s children. Some museums in Slovenia keep older examples of children’s kitchens, and these are typical toys for children from urban, market town and castle settings.
