What Toys Did Rich And Poor Children Have In Victorian Times?

In Victorian times rich and poor children would have had very different toys.
Rich children would have had dolls (dolls in some form have been around since Egyptian and Ancient Greek times). They would also have had spinning tops, balls, and other produced toys, often made of wood and involving some kind of physical activity. Yo yos were very popular, as were card games. Books were also produced for children, which although not a toy are some form of pastime.
However, poor children fared much worse. Childhood for the poor was blighted by sickness and having to work, often in factories, for very little pay and few comforts. (It was only after the rule of Victoria that conditions significantly improved).
However, it is likely that they would have had some toys such as rag dolls,. They would also have had balls and home made toys such as the inside ring of a barrel which was pushed with a stick, conkers and of course mud pies and games such as 'tag'.

Some poor children did not have any toys at all,
so they made dolls out of old shoes or rags.

Poor children were often sick or working, but when they had time to play, they had rag dolls and balls. They had homemade toys, like the inside ring of a barrel which was pushed with a stick, conkers, 'mud pies' and 'tag'.

The rich had beautifully carved dolls and furniture for dolls houses and the rich boys had clockwork steam trains where as the poor had to make their own paper dolls and things then save up their pocket money to buy marbles and cheap wooden toys.

Rich children would have had better toys because they could afforeded them but poor people would have had toys which they had made themselves.

Poor children played with dolls made out of old shoe and other toys that we don't have today

The toys the victorian rich children played with were really similar to what the edwardian era had. Some of the toys were a metal hoop and a sort of hook stick which you rolled the hoop with and spinning tops and doll house. The poor children would have had rag dolls.
