"All the toys one commonly sees are essentially a microcosom of the adult world; they are reduced copies of human objects, as if in the eyes of the public the child was, all told, nothing but a smaller man, a homunculus to whom must be supplied objects of his own size.Toys always mean something, and this something is entirely socialised, constituted by the myths or the techniques of modern adult life...Toys here reveal the list of all things the adult does not find unusual: war, bureaucrascy, ugliness, Martians, etc."
