Toys of Yesterday and Today

Hyeok Hwang from Korea

Hyeok Hwang prefers the toys she played with as a child to today's toys.

When I was a little girl, I played with a doll. My mother made that doll from fabrics. She made a few different dresses so I could change the doll's clothes, and sometimes I drew a doll and made paper dresses.

When I was playing house, I made food with pebbles, dirt, and chopped pieces of bricks to make red pepper. Leave of trees, blades of grasses, and petals were my cooking ingredients. At that time, all nature's things could be my toys. All nature's things gave me creative thinking and many ideas.

Nowadays, there are so many different kinds of manmade toys which are made out of plastics, metals, and nylons. Some are for safety, convenience, and handiness, but I think they are made for now with no creativity and no purity.
