MUSCLE men are basically indestructible, a solid piece of PVC/Rubber that unless you take a flame or a knife to them will last virtually forever... It is a documented fact that you can bury them in the mud, sand or dirt and dig them up 20 years later and they can be 'like new' with a little soap and water...
This got me thinking, what sort of toys would children be playing with if we were sent back 100 years as far as technology, or some other SHTF situation long term?
Battery Operated toys wouldn't be high on the priority and eventually complicated things like Transformers and such with small pieces would break or otherwise wear out.
My grandmother jokes that when she was a kid her favorite toy was "A hoop and a stick"...

Sadly, I thought she was joking...
Children have made toys out of just about anything for as long as there have been children...
Dolls from bone/stone...

Dolls from Socks...

Pull Toys from Antiquity...

Or any number of odds and ends that would fuel the imagination of the younger folks...

It is fact that children who play often are more creative, smarter, and more well adjusted than children who are forced to grow up too early, or otherwise watch TV or play Video Games all day/every day. One could make the argument that it is 'how' we play as children that has lead us to our current level of civilization and technology.
So my question to everyone is this, what sort of toys do you expect to last longer than 10 years in the hands of various generations of children? Things like MUSCLEs may very well last forever, but what else would/could last?
Beyond what from our current world would be left over, what would you expect to see being made in the world after?
Here is my 'short list' I wont include too much cause I am curious as to the responces.
#1: MUSCLEs, Generally indestructible and infinitely creative.
#2: Matchbox Cars (without Wheels) The wheels crack and break and the axles could be pretty useful in a PAW, but the body of the car I could see being relegated in masse to the children.
#3: PVC Doll Heads and Barbie dolls... again, they break and get ratty, but little girls MUST have dolls and will use almost any dirty thing to make one.
Thoughts?
