Child Leisure Activites

There were several toys that many privileged children had the opportunity to play with. These included things such as:

  • Jacks (Made from the knuckle-bones of animals)
  • Kites 
  • Marbles
  • Yoyos
  • Terracotta dolls
  • Horses on four wheels
Amphitheaters also provided a valuable source of entertainment for children and often showcased music, dance and dramas.
