It is cheap, lightweight and extremely malleable

=====================================

Plastic is probably one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Plastic can be made to be flexible (like a tupperware lid), or rigid (like body parts on a car). It is hypo-allergenic, meaning that it's extremely rare to have an allergy to it.

It can be colored and molded, so that the colors don't "scrape off".

It's also relatively inexpensive to produce, and can be cleaned and disinfected easily since it is non-porous. Therefore, because toys are hit, chewed, thrown, ridden on, etc. plastic is a relatively good medium to make toys from.
