Do children have too many toys these days?

This was a typical toy 100 years ago. Do you think the evolution of toys has helped or harmed kids?

I think we are trying to make kids grow up too soon. And it wasn't 100 years ago. I loved lincoln logs. The only difference was my grandfather made them. We weren't like the rich kids

Lincoln Logs were invented in 1916, but I do know that many children had them growing up. I think they might still be around today!

Nice factoid. I had them when I was a kid , but i didn't have to keep up with the latest trendy thing likes kids seem to need to do today
