From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A toy is anything that can be used in play. Toys are usually associated with children and pets, but it is not unusual for adults and some other animals to play with toys. An example of this is a dolphin being trained to nudge a ball through a hoop. Many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used. For instance, a small child may pick up a household item and "fly" it through the air as to pretend that it is an airplane. Or, an animal might play with a pinecone by batting at it, biting it, chasing it, or by tossing it around. Another consideration is interactive digital entertainment, such as a video game. Some toys are produced primarily as collector's items and are intended for display only. The origin of toys is prehistoric; dolls representing infants, animals, and soldiers, as well as representations of tools used by adults are readily found at archaeological sites. The origin of the word "toy" is unknown, but it is believed that it was first used in the 14th century. Toys, and play in general, are important when it comes to growing up and learning about the world around us. The young use toys and play to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults. Adults use toys and play to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, remember and reinforce lessons from their youth, discover their identity, exercise their minds and bodies, explore relationships, practice skills, and decorate their living spaces.

GNU Free Documentation License How come my dog never plays with her toys? Q. We buy her all kinds of stuff from bones to balls so she won't be bored. The only thing she plays with are some old bath toys I used to use. The are like 3 years old and I don't like seeing her play with them. She plays with them every now and then but never her other toys. She only plays with her rawhides. She doesn't look at those other toys twice. She has this thing for pencils though. Asked by Angel *I eat sea kittens to* - Sat Jul 19 14:15:13 2008 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dogs don't need 'stuff' - they need interaction. It sounds like she needs a friend, or some socialization. Try signing up for an obedience course, and making some friends while you're there. Perhaps she coudl sue a playdate, or even another dog in your household. Ask the trainer to help assess what her deal is. Some dogs just don't do the toy thing, and need other dogs to have a good time. She sounds a bit bored, and it also sounds like her tummy might be bothering her - eating things like pencils is often a sign of a gastric problem, or even a food allergy.

They distroy everything! Asked by Jenna - Thu Nov 9 14:53:49 2006 - - 18 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have a Pit Bull and he distroys just about any toy that we give him. What was suggested to me was a Kong (it can be found in Petsmart or just about any chain pets store). It comes in all kinds of shapes, but whats good about it is that you can put treats in the center and keeps them busy for hours. I put a little peanut butter (to make it stay in the hole) on the end of a hotdog and stuff it in. He will not leave it until he has all of it eaten. You can put any treat in there that your dogs like. What I also do is buy the cheap toys, but somewhat sturdy (at the checkout stand) at Walmart, they are like less than a dollar, that way I dont feel to bad when he destroys them. Hope this helps.

Q. I keep my rabbit in her cage most of the time. But I allow her to roam about in the house for about an hour each day. It is then that she chews electrical cords, books, cloths etc. If I keep chewing toys in her cage will she stop chewing other stuff when I allow her to come out? Asked by Johnny - Fri Feb 22 09:40:35 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Your rabbit should have a t least 5 hours out each day. What a horrible life being stuck in a cage!! If you have no garden you still have to do this in the evening if you are out all day. Don't keep your rabbit confined to her cage just because you cannot be bothered to pick stuff up off t he floor and watch her. You should be bonding with her. I am not having a go at you, this is the only way i can express my feelings for the rabbit and if she can get to items you cannot be being careful enough. It is natural that rabbits chew to file down their teeth as their teeth are constantly growing throughout their lives. You can deter her a bit with a product called bitter apple, but you will never stop her chewing totally.If she is chewing the… [cont.] Answered by Tillysburrows - Fri Feb 22 10:03:51 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "toys" ToysFrom Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, searchToys is a 1992 film about a very large family-owned toy company whose change of management threatens to make it a factory dedicated to producing only violent and war related toys.
