These carts show they had a strong connection with animals because many
of the toys feature animals pulling the carts.Some of these animals
are:oxen,cows and horses.
These are terracotta toy
carts from the Harappan
period site of Nausharo
in Baluchistan
I used to enjoy
playing with these.
Dice

dominoes have been uncovered by
archaeologists studying the Ancient Indus.
Also they were studying ancient China,
Meso-America, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
An ancient form of Ludo was played as well
as an ancient form of chess, which was
played in the Indus valley. A board,
uncovered in the area of Mohenjo-Daro,
was said to be the oldest chess board
discovered in the world.

figurines of
people,animals,birds and
masks provide clues about
peoples daily lives and
religious beliefs.they are
usually hand modelled in
terracotta.
The people in the Indus
Valley carve large numbers
of figurines of women.
These statues differ from
those found in many other
cultures in attention to
jewellery and hairstyles
other sites had carts with
clay wheels and maybe the
earliest toy.
Female figurines
have been found in
all shapes and sizes.
Some are slim, some
fat and some nurse
babies.Many female
figurines are wearing
bangles and have
different
headdress's, such as
cloth turbans. Some
female figurines are
adored with flowers
and lots of jewellery
such as bracelets
and decorated belts.
