War time 1939-1945

 

Many toys were lost during wartime since they were not the most important things one would think of at the time of distress. But children have a creative imagination and they play with self-made toys, such as cows made of cones, or simply set up a shop by a stone, for example. There are a few wartime board games in our collections. Those days the games had names such as “Journey to the Frontline” or “Struggle for Food".
