The earliest recorded history of toys dates to the early 19th century, when peddlers and street traders were engaged in selling low-cost toys for children. These were usually carved from wood, and primarily produced by rural craftsmen or by bonded laborers working in small backstreet factories. These factories, which were mostly located in and around London and its suburbs, were notorious for being akin to sweatshops and encouraging child labor.
