"Tyke" (later spelled "tike") first appeared in the late 1300s in Middle English denoting a small child, especially a boy. This term could also be used derogatorily (primarily by the Scottish) to reference anyone with poor manners. "Tyke", it seems, is similar to the modern term "rugrat"-- an unruly child. "Little Tikes", then, is a modern brand of toys best known for preschool toys.
