Toys: Universals for Teaching Global Education.
Swiniarski, Louise B.
Childhood Education, v67 n3 p161-63 Spr 1991
Toys play a role in children's lives worldwide and can be used effectively to teach global education. There are more commonalities than differences among toys from different nations. The origins of toys are varied, sometimes reflecting religious beliefs or political events. Toys also indicate cultural values and attitudes and social changes. (BC)
